Abstract

The author of this article attempts to assess the influences of Brecht’s theory on the literary production by contemporary German playwright Roland Schimmelpfennig. The author follows their transgressions and transpositions based on selected examples of his plays. Referring to the definition of transgression given by Grzegorz Petrek, he attempts to analyse such issues as acting, alienation, the meaning of text and image in Brecht’s drama, as well as its didactic and political potential. With regard to drama and theatre in German, Schimmelpfennig has been under an immense influence of Brecht’s ideas and practices.
