  • Guide to the Max Reinhardt Collection
    GUIDE TO THE MAX REINHARDT COLLECTION BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE The celebrated theater director Max Reinhardt, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. Born Maximilian Goldmann into an impecunious lower middle-class merchant family, Reinhardt (initially a stage name) began his career as a struggling young actor in Vienna and Salzburg. In 1894 he was invited to Berlin by Otto Brahm, the renowned director of the Deutsches Theater, where the young actor quickly gained critical acclaim for his convincing portrayals of old men. Eager to escape the gloom and doom of the prevailing Naturalist style, Reinhardt in 1901 co-founded an avant-garde literary cabaret called Sound and Smoke (Schall und Rauch), the allusion being to a poem by Goethe. This cabaret theater perceptively satirized the fashions of current theatrical theory and practice and came to function as an experimental laboratory for the future director.

  • Briefwechsel Klassiker Hörspiele Gedichte Historisches Chansons Literatur Hörbücher Leuberg Edition
    Briefwechsel Klassiker Hörspiele Gedichte Historisches Chansons Literatur Hörbücher Leuberg Edition Martin Benrath (1926-2000) Charakterschauspieler mit der unverwechselbaren Narbe im ausdruckstarken Gesicht – er begeisterte nicht nur Theaterregisseure von Weltruf von Gustav Gründgens bis Luc Bondy, auch der Film verdankt dem geborenen Berliner viel. Ingmar Bergman verpflichtete Benrath für "Aus dem Leben der Marionetten" (1980), in zahlreichen Filmrollen glänzte der Mann mit der leicht schnarrenden Aussprache und dem ganz persönlichen ‚S:, so in Bernhard Wickis "Kennwort: Morituri" (1964), Jo Beiers „Der Laden “ (1998) oder Helmut Dietls „Schtonk “. Der Adolf-Grimme-Preis in Gold und der Deutsche Fernsehpreis sind nur einige der wichtigsten Auszeichnungen für ein außergewöhnliches schauspielerisches Lebenswerk. „Die innere Morphologie (um nicht Sensibilität zu sagen) eines von mir erträumten Schauspielers ist sowohl feminin als auch maskulin. Grazie (eigentlich öfter mit Feminität assoziiert): das sind die Bewegungen, das Gehen auf der Bühne, die Haltung der Schultern, der Arme, wie der Nacken sich dreht... Die Bühnenkraft (nicht Kraftmeierei), da sein, über die Präsenz hinaus die physisch- psychische Behauptung (maskulin? Feminin?). Dann noch, denn ich spreche von Martin Benrath, eine bestimmte Intensität und gute Nervosität: ein Schauspieler, der die Stimmungen, die Launen seiner Darstellungen sehr schnell, gerade auf den Moment wechseln kann. Der portugiesische Dichter Fernando Pessoa sagt im ‚ Buch der Unruhe: „Jeder von uns ist mehrere“: Das macht es aus, dass ich mir mit Martin Benrath tausende Rollen vorstellen kann, indem ich nur ihn sehe.“ (Luc Bondy) EDWARD ALBEE PREIS DER DEUTSCHEN Wer hat Angst vor Virginia Woolf ...? SCHALLPLATTEN Mit Christa Berndl, Martin Benrath, KRITIK Anna Schudt,Christian Berkel Anatomie einer Ehe, Seelenschau einer Zweierbeziehung – Edward Albees Schauspiel vom Scheitern der Menschen an ihrer Lebenslüge ist schwärzestes und gleichzeitig aufrichtigstes Theater.
