“The October Revolution was accompanied by the vehement question of
revolutionizing art, including the bourgeois theater. Should the
theater of the scientific age emerge from a transformation of the
bourgeois theater, or as a radical new beginning, or did the only
solution consist in completely rejecting theater as a bourgeois
practice? Those who decided under the name “Theater October,” in favor
of solutions in between transformation and new beginning increasingly
dispensed with illusionist plots and the psychology of the figures,
did away with the peep show stage, the curtain, the backdrops, built
new theaters, left the theater” ~ Gerald Raunig. A Thousand Machines.
