Howard Barker

Howard E. Barker (born 28 June 1946) is a British playwright.

The Theatre of Catastrophe

Barker has coined the term "Theatre of Catastrophe" to describe his work. His plays often explore violence, sexuality, the desire for power, and human motivation.

Rejecting the widespread notion that an audience should share a single response to the events onstage, Barker works to fragment response, forcing each viewer to wrestle with the play alone. "We must overcome the urge to do things in unison" he writes. "To chant together, to hum banal tunes together, is not collectivity." Where other playwrights might clarify a scene, Barker seeks to render it more complex, ambiguous, and unstable.

Only through a tragic renaissance, Barker argues, will beauty and poetry return to the stage. "Tragedy liberates language from banality" he asserts. "It returns poetry to speech."

Themes

Barker frequently turns to historical events for inspiration. His play Scenes from an Execution, for example, centers on the aftermath of the Battle of Lepanto (1571) and a fictional female artist commissioned to create a commemorative painting of the Venetian victory over the Ottoman fleet. Scenes from an Execution, originally written for Radio 3 and starring Glenda Jackson in 1984, was later adapted for the stage. The short play Judith revolves around the Biblical story of Judith, the legendary heroine who decapitated the invading general Holofernes.

Und

by Xavier Naidoo

Und

by: Xavier Naidoo

Ich hab mich oft gefragt, ob wir uns wieder sehen
Und hab mir oft gesagt, dass wir uns wieder sehen
Es ist schöner als ich es mir erträumt hab
Am liebsten wär' mir die Zeit bliebe stehen
Wer hätte das gedacht, ein Traum aus dem man nicht aufwacht
Ich bin die Sorge los wie find' ich diesen Menschen bloß
Meine Seele jubiliert, weil sie niemals den Mut verliert
Mich aufzufordern raus zu gehen um mich nach dir umzusehen
Es ist schöner als ich es mir erträumt hab
Am liebsten wär' mir die Zeit bliebe stehen
Es macht alles gut, was ich je versäumt hab
Vielleicht sollten wir gemeinsam weiter gehen
Verlier' kein Wort darüber, heb dir alles auf
Dein Wort war unverfügbar, deine Nähe auch
Und jetzt ist alles hier, was vorher nie hier war
Und das was weit entfernt war ist jetzt wieder nah
Es ist schöner als ich mir erträumt hab
Am liebsten wär' mir die Zeit bliebe stehen
Es macht alles gut, was ich je versäumt hab
