"This collection features nine essays that explore how the material conditions of the early modern English stage shaped the theater. Topics range from the simulation of pregnant bodies by boy actors (and the effects of those simulations) to how bruises created by make-up might have been used on stage"--

This Element argues for the importance of extended reality as an innovative force that changes the understanding of theatre and Shakespeare. It shows how the inclusion of augmented and virtual realities in performance can reconfigure the senses of the experiencers, enabling them to engage with technology actively. Such engagements can, in turn, result in new forms of presence, embodiment, eventfulness, and interaction. In drawing on Shakespeare's dramas as source material, this Element recognises the growing practice of staging them in an extended reality mode, and their potential to advance the development of extended reality. Given Shakespeare's emphasis on metatheatre, his works can inspire the layering of environments and the experiences of transition between the environments both features that distinguish extended reality. The author's examination of selected works in this Element unveils creative convergences between Shakespeare's dramaturgy and digital technology.

Der szenische Umgang mit »Faust« auf der Bühne der 1990er Jahre wird hier in einer Reihe von Einzelanalysen diskutiert. Anknüpfend an die Linie der ideologiekritischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Stoff in den vorausgegangenen Jahrzehnten, bildet insbesondere bei den Vertretern des Regietheaters die (theater)historische Rezeption den entscheidenden Bezugshorizont (Inszenierungen von Wolfgang Engel, Einar Schleef und Christoph Marthaler). Gegenpole hierzu stellen zum einen die ganz auf Wahrnehmungsverschiebung abgestellte Zürcher Inszenierung von Stephan Müller, zum anderen die ihrem eigenen Programm zufolge texttreue Integralversion Peter Steins dar. Eine Deutung des »Faust« als theatraler Ausdruck eines gemeinsamen europäischen Erbes wird in Giorgio Strehlers Mailänder Version unternommen. Der "Blick von außen" am Beispiel von »Faustus in Africa!« (Handspring Puppet Company, Johannnesburg, William Kentridge) führt hingegen zu einer radikal kulturkritischen Perspektive auf Europa. Various approaches to staging Goethe's »Faust« undertaken in the 1990s are discussed here in a series of individual analyses. Following on from an engagement with the play from a largely ideology-critical perspective in the preceding decades, the decisive new frame of reference, notably amongst the representatives of Regietheater (productions by Wolfgang Engel, Einar Schleef, Christoph Marthaler), proves to be the question of (theatre-)historical reception. In complete contrast to this - and to one another - are (a) Stephan Müller's Zurich version of »Faust II« and its total preoccupation with shifts of perception, and (b) Peter Stein's mammoth, programmatic attempt to achieve textual fidelity by staging every single syllable of the play uncut. In his Milan version, Giorgio Strehler essays an interpretation of »Faust« as the expression of a common European heritage. By contrast, the 'outside perspective' represented by »Faustus in Africa!« (Handspring Puppet Company Johannesburg, William Kentridge) casts a radical culture-critical light on Europe.
