 Reinhardt Max English
Reinhardt's reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and his endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience
Eager to escape the gloom and doom of naturalism, Reinhardt in 1901 co-founded an avant-garde cabaret called "Schall und Rauch" (after an allusion by Goethe), which perceptively satirized the fads and fashions of current literary and theatrical practice and came to function as an experimental laboratory for the future director.
Reinhardt's reputation as a director was firmly established by 1905, with his epoch-making production of Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream", a play which became his perennial favorite.
