Anna Lacis and Bernhard Reich: Life and Love in the Theatre

SUMMARY

"Anna (Asja) La¯cis (1891-1979) is often considered the first to have implemented true epic theatre in Latvian drama.... Bernhard Reich (1894-1972)...is one of the most important personalities of the German theatre of the 1920s.... This article demonstrates how theatrical work structured La¯cis’s and Reich’s biographies and makes a case for how interconnected the two theatre-makers were through their shared belief in the importance and influence of theatre. It therefore works against the tendency in scholarship to concentrate on La¯cis’s personal liaisons by showing the role her work in theatre played in mediating the most important and long-lasting relationship in her life."
