Welcome to the Theatre Studies Dossier for Kleist Memorial Year 2011!
2011 is the 200th anniversary of the death of Heinrich von Kleist (10/10/1777 to 21/11/1811). We also dedicate this year to the dramatist who, in the 21st Century, has still not lost his magic and allure. The presence of Kleist’s dramas on stage, in the curricula of schools and in the German and Theatre Studies testifies to the continuing topicality and popularity of the works. His treatise "Über das Marionettentheater" (On the Marionette Theatre) is inseparable from theatre studies literary canon. Moreover, his personality continues to fascinate, as Kleist’s short, restless and dramatic life makes him a very modern character.
