Abstract
The paper aims to outline one of the fundamental figures in the theatrical aesthetic of Einar Schleef: the choir as removed protagonist of the tragic conflict. Starting from a description of choir as “pestiferous mass”, feared and therefore emarginated (as Schleef defines it in his controversial essay Droge Faust Parsifal), the article depicts the ambiguous and insolvable struggle between illusionary individual and failed community. A topic strongly pointed out in three significant productions: Goetz von Berlichingen by Johann W. Goethe, Vor Sonnenaufgang by Gerhart Hauptmann e Herr Puntila und sein Knecht Matti by Bertolt Brecht.
