Zusammenfassung: | <jats:p>In this article I discuss different aspects of the transformation of the written dramatic text to the staged performance text, in order to reveal some features of the reception embedded in the performance. I stress four aspects of the transformational process: the multimediality, the <jats:italic>hic‐et‐nunc</jats:italic> character, the relation to older dramatic texts, and the problem of fragments. An analysis of Biichner's <jats:italic>Woyzeck</jats:italic>, focusing the possible role in a performance of the element of the knife, leads me to the following conclusions: an adequate analysis of a dramatic text must emphasize the elements which articulate the transformational process; an adequate analysis must give priority to the relevance for a topical audience and thus allow a performance a certain freedom of interpretation and selection of the dramatic text; a dramatic text does not have one ideal audience and, consequently, a performance should be created for several addressees.</jats:p> |
