Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Phoebe Zeitgeist arrives at a cocktail party to observe humanity through confessional monologues and reflections.The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant: Petra is a prominent fashion designer who lives with Marlene, her much put-upon assistant. Petra is deeply attracted to the younger Karin and asks her to move in. But Karin is married and plans on rejoining her husband later. Petra is upset by this but still gives Karin money for a flight to Frankfurt to meet her husband. Drunk on her 35th birthday, a huge row erupts between Petra, her daughter, Gaby, her mother Valerie, and her friend, Sidonie, who gives Petra a doll as a birthday present. Karin eventually telephones, but Petra declines to see her. Afterwards, Petra apologizes to Marlene suggesting they work together again. Marlene simply packs her bags, and leaves silently, taking the doll with her.This play is combined in a dual edition with: Blood on the Neck of the Cat: An alien from space named Phoebe Zeitgeist arrives at a cocktail party and learns about human beings from those attending. First the main characters deliver confessional monologues about themselves then Phoebe speaks one-on-one with the characters, picking up certain phrases and attitudes from them. Finally, Phoebe repeats some of what she has heard, with the other characters commenting that she must be either drunk or smart.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Fassbinder's version of modern post-civilized terror was, like much else about his work, ahead of its time.' --San Francisco ChronicleThe late Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the most brilliant exponent of German 'New Wave' cinema, also made a startling contribution to the theatre scene with his 'antiteater.' His plays take their place with those of other writers such as Handke, Kroetz, Bernhard, and Müller, who created a renaissance of German drama in America.This volume brings together six of Fassbinder's controversial plays: The Bitter Tears of Petra van Kant Katzelmacher Garbage, the City, and Death Bremen Freedom Blood on the Cat's Neck Pre-Paradise Sorry Now.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the preliminary notes for a film he never made, Fassbinder wrote that he wanted to allow his audience, without any help from him, to make the choice between a short, fulfilled life, and a longer existence that would for the most part be "alienated" and lived outside a "fully conscious" state. He explored varieties of that longer existence in his controversial "anti-theatre" plays, six of which are collected here with a critical introduction. There is Geesche Gottfried of "Bremen Freedom" who systematically poisons the people who try to keep her in her proper place - her father, her children, her two husbands. Anticipating her own death, she sings with each murder "World farewell! Of these I'm tired". There is Petra in "The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant", whose need to possess the people she loves destroys every intimate relationship she has: "You'd like to be tender, but again you grow frightened. You're frightened of defeat, of being the weaker one. That's the horrible point on which you know there's no giving in". There is Phoebe Zeitgeist of "Blood on the Cat's Neck", who is sent from another planet to study human democracy but has trouble interacting because, although she has learned the words, she never seems to understand human language. The collection also includes "Katzelmacher", "Pre-Paradise Sorry Now", and Fassbinder's controversial final play, "Garbage, The City and Death". Fassbinder's version of modern post-civilized terror was, like much else about his work, ahead of its time. —San Francisco Chronicle This item is printed on demand.
