Against the authority of the Text I: Heiner Müller's Bildbeschreibung as a negation of the theatricality of the text
Abstract
In Bildbeschreibung (Description of a Picture, 1984) Müller deliberately fails to match up with
the basic tenets of the theatricality typical of a dramatic text. Simultaneously, however, he equally
deliberately posits a challenge to the theatre and puts into question the dominant idea of the
dramatic text and its stageability. The aim of this essay is to raise questions about the methods
and principles of inscribing the author's intentions in the text and the possibility of recognizing
the text's destination and stage potential. I attempt to answer these questions, reading Bildbeschreibung
as a borderline case in the context of Strindberg's To Damascus and Brecht's Massnahme
in order to point to the basic relationship between the texts written nowadays for the stage
and the modern stage practice, since without addressing this issue it is impossible to lay grounds
for a new methodology of text analysis and interpretation.
