Ostermeier has kept extending and refining the important notion of German \u003ci\u003eRegietheater \u003c\/i\u003e(directors'' theatre) with the Schaubühne Theatre being its internationally famous birthplace under the previous artistic direction of Peter Stein. Through doing so, the work produced at the Schaubühne has transgressed established divides of text-based and devised theatre, and blurred the borders between theatre and dance. Combining scholarly reflection with interview material, this essential collection investigates how theatre has been reinvented by the Schaubühne under Ostermeier''s tenure, bringing together international theatre scholars such as Erika Fischer-Lichte, Marvin Carlson, Jitka Goriaux Pelechova, Benjamin Fowler, Ramona M\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince 1999 under the directorship of Thomas Ostermeier the Schaubühne Berlin has become the most visible German theatre on the international stage. In this volume, Peter M. Boenisch, author of a major monograph on Ostermeier, achieves the rare feat of bringing together contributions both from the artistic team as well as together an impressive collection of distinguished scholars from around the world which mutually illuminate this remarkable theatre. * Christopher Balme, University of Munich, Germany *\u003cbr\u003eThis timely collection of essays by formative theatre scholars and practitioners is a must-read for anyone seeking insight into the trans\/national implications of the Berlin Schaubühne institutional politics, largely cued to Ostermeier’s artistic leadership, and the ethics of realism that characterize much of his directorial work. This thought-provoking compilation is as suggestive for its approach to this theatre’s self-critical institutional and production dramaturgy as it is for modeling a vital collaboration between scholars and artists. * Hana Worthen, Barnard College, Columbia University, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations Notes on Contributors Acknowledgements  Preface - 20 years of the Schaubühne Berlin under Thomas Ostermeier: Ambitions, achievements, transformations by Peter M Boenisch   \u003cb\u003eI.            \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Schaubühne Berlin under Thomas Ostermeier: Reinventing an institution \u003c\/b\u003e 1)      The first season: The Mission (1999) by Thomas Ostermeier, Jens Hillje, Sasha Waltz and Jochen Sandig  2)      Between philosophical and sociological theatre: The political \u003ci\u003eRegietheater\u003c\/i\u003e of Peter Stein and Thomas Ostermeier at the Schaubühne Berlin by Erika Fischer-Lichte 3)      The Schaubühne’s Civic Mission in the Age of Globalization: An Imaginary Island that Probes Society by Ramona Mosse 4)      ‘Audiences know their cause will be treated’: Making political theatre at the Schaubühne – Thomas Ostermeier in conversation with Clare Finburgh Delijani    \u003cb\u003eII.            \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Ostermeier at the Schaubühne: Reinventing ‘Directors’ Theatre’\u003c\/b\u003e 5)      Socialist Realism, Capitalist Realism, Ostermeier Realism by Marvin Carlson 6)      Thomas Ostermeier’s Shakespeare productions: The \u003ci\u003emise en action \u003c\/i\u003eof canonical plays by Jitka Goriaux Pelechová 7)      \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e out of joint: Variations on a theme in Thomas Ostermeier’s production, 2008-2020 by Elisa Leroy 8)      Sensing the North: Thomas Ostermeier and the Schaubühne in Brazil by Igor de Almeida Silva 9)      Confronting the present: Thomas Ostermeier’s post-conceptual \u003ci\u003eRegietheater\u003c\/i\u003e by Peter M.
