Theater im Dialog: Imaginarien vom polnischen Theater in deutschen Fachmedien
Theatre in dialogue: Imaginary on Polish theater in German specialized media

Summary/Abstract: Performances of Polish theatre are present in German media and are described by German or Polish journalists and critics, which builds a certain image not only of the aesthetics of Polish theatre but also of the imagination of Polish society. The aim of this article is to show the fluctuations and changes in the image of Polish theatre in Germany, in the last two decades, created by mainly professional press and portals devoted to theatre events. The problem is whether the vision of Polish theatre relates to its current artistic condition, the analysis of its character, the search for innovation, and to what extent is it a relationship conditioned by the commercial sale of information, often determined by the German vision of the social role of theatre, or the political situation.
