Paul Pörtner und Roy Hart
Die menschliche Stimme in Kunst und Leben, par Ralf Peters, Stimmfeld, 2024.
Paul Pörtner and Roy Hart: The Human Voice in Art and Life
After a joint radio production with the vocal artist Roy Hart, Paul Pörtner visited the Roy Hart Theatre in London for the first time in 1972. The German playwright believed he had found an artistic ensemble that not only shared his ideas about the links between life and theatre, but that were capable of enacting these artistically. Thus began an almost two-year phase of intensive exchange and collaboration.
Ralf Peters traces the evolution of this exchange based on previously unpublished texts by Pörtner.
The result is a fascinating insight into avant-garde theater of the 1970s, which sought to understand theatre as a way of life and gave existential urgency to artistic questions.
