Theatricality and staging can be observed in a range of elements and scenes in Büchner's texts. Drawing on this finding, this volume examines Büchner's stages as an aesthetic and epistemological structure, thereby reformulating questions about Büchner's reception history. What aspects make his dramas so relevant and challenging for contemporary stages?
