Course Description
This course helps students better understand the political, artistic and cultural forces that created the expansive range of musical and theatrical styles, genres, and performance in the Weimar Republic (1918-1933). The course explores the complex relationship between musical theatre (broadly defined) and its relationship to politics, censorship, and collective identities such as nationalism, religion, gender, sexuality and ethnicity. Special focus is given to the works of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht.
