Synopsis
Rainer Werner Fassbinder stands at the heart of the 'Theater der Welt' festival in Cologne, where 30 theater companies present over 100 performances in 1981. The documentary captures the festival's dynamic atmosphere and the varied interpretations of contemporary theater. Through Fassbinder's reading of Antonin Artaud's essay, 'The Theater and its Double,' the film invites reflection on how Artaud's radical ideas manifest in the performances. The innovative approaches of the companies prompt contemplation of theater's evolution and its artistic vision.
