Overview
Rainer Werner Fassbinder visited for two weeks the "Theater der Welt" festival in 1981 in Cologne. 30 companies showed in over 100 performances their own visions of a new theater. Framed by Fassbinder's reading of one of the famous essays on theater: Antonin Artaud's "The Theater and its Double". The audience is left to wonder how much of Artaud's radical and beautiful vision is realized in contemporary theater.
