Kreis, Der#
Kreis, Der (The Circle), theatre project launched by G. Tabori in the Vienna "Schauspielhaus" theatre, lasted from 1987 to 1990; in contrast to the "middle-class" theatres (jocularly referred to as "cathedrals") Der Kreis presented theatre in a new aesthetic and social context ("catacombs"). It became the symbol of ensemble cooperation without hierarchy and for continuing artistic work.
