Leider geschlossen! Theater spielt sich normalerweise auf der Bühne und im besten Fall vor ausverkauftem Haus ab. Da gerade nichts normal ist und die Spielstätten geschlossen sind, versuchen viele Schauspielhäuser ihren kulturellen Beitrag online zu leisten. Ein kurzer Einblick in digitale Wege der Schauspielkunst zu Krisenzeiten.
La risa es uno de los temas menos estudiados en la obra de Walter Benjamin; sin embargo, constituye una de las claves para la comprensión de lo que el crítico alemán consideró que podría ser una politización del arte. En este artículo tratamos de desgranar el lugar de la risa en la teoría estética y política de Benjamin a partir de su conferencia «El autor como productor». Desde ese punto nos proponemos introducir su lectura de Bertolt Brecht, así como su polémica con Theodor W. Adorno.
This lecture is about the history of the "Naier idisher teater" in Riga, the construction process of the building since 1913, the people and organisations that were involved, the theatre opening, playing schedules, companies, cooperation and actors as well as about the intercultural, economic and social environments and activities around the theatre until it was closed forcibly by the German troupes in 1941.
In his Yiddish autobiography “Fun Lublin biz Rige”, Riga: 1940, the actor Abraham Eines reported on his 30-year lasting career as an actor in Yiddish theatre companies in Eastern Europe and also on the period when he was an artist in the Yiddish theatre in Riga. The so called “Naier idisher teater” had been planned since 1913 and opened in 1927 on the initiative of Jakob Landau, Paul Minz and Lew Ginsberg.
This thesis is based on Eines’ autobiography and researches in Latvian, Lithuanian and Polish archives and libraries. The aim was to reconstruct the history of this specialized Yiddish theatre, which fortunately is kept until today in the art nouveau quarter of Riga.
The thesis deals with the history of this theatre, the plans which resulted in the construction of the building, people and organisations that were involved, its opening, playing schedules, companies and actors as well as the intercultural, economic and social environments and activities.
In January 1927, the “Naier idisher teater” opened under the main direction of M. Karpinowitsch and the art direction of Abraham Morewski. It was financially supported by membership fees from the “Jewish Theatre Company”. New artists were often engaged by the “Warsaw Association of Artists”.
In the following years, the art direction changed several times because of disagreements between the direction of the theatre and the company. Actors demanded more sophisticated plays and greater artistic licenses. The theatre had big economic problems. The repertoire of the theatre differed distinctly from that of the guest companies coming to Riga: the “Vilner Trupe”, staged Yiddish classics by Scholem Alejchem, Scholem Asch, Jacob Gordin, as well as by Oskar Wilde, Shakespeare and Moliere. Furthermore, Alexander Granovsky (GOSET) gave guest performances with his company of the Moscow theatre “Habima” in Riga. Besides “Habima” started its Europe tour in this Yiddish theatre Riga. Many artists were partly engaged for a long period in Riga`s “Naier idisher teater” and the theatre was well attended – on average 70 000 visitors per season. The theatre was equipped with 473 seats and 160 seats on balconies. It existed with different names until the occupation of Riga by the Germans. Today, the museum „Jews in Latvia“ (Muzejs Ebreji Latvijā) is located in the former theatre building.
