German Theater (English: Deutsches Theater)

Japanese: ドイツ座 - どいつざ(英語表記)Deutsches Theater
German Theater (English: Deutsches Theater)

A representative German theater located in the center of Berlin. Founded in 1883, it led the way in naturalistic theater under director Bluhm, and from 1905 gained worldwide fame for its innovative Shakespeare and modern theater directed by Reinhardt. It has a small theater called a chamber theater, and its size and facilities influenced the history of modern theater in Japan, as it was the model for the Tsukiji Small Theater that opened in 1924 (Taisho 13). After World War II, when Berlin was divided into East and West, it was the most important theater in East Berlin and continued to lead the theater of the former East Germany (German Democratic Republic) with a program based on realism, from classical to modern plays. After German reunification, it has regained its former fame as a representative theater in Berlin, which became the new capital of Germany.

ドイツの代表的な劇場。ベルリン中心部にある。1883年に創設されて演出家ブラームのもとで自然主義演劇をリードし、1905年からラインハルトの演出によるシェイクスピア劇や現代劇の新機軸によって世界的名声を得た。室内劇場とよばれる小劇場をもち、これの規模と設備が1924年(大正13)に発足した築地(つきじ)小劇場の手本となったという意味で日本の新劇の歴史に影響を及ぼしている。第二次世界大戦後にベルリンが東西に分裂していた時期は、東ベルリンの最重要の劇場として古典劇から現代劇までリアリズムを基調とする演目で旧東ドイツ(ドイツ民主共和国)の演劇をリードしつづけた。ドイツ再統一以降は新しいドイツの首都となることになったベルリンの代表的な劇場として昔日の名声をとりもどしている。
