点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

While conventional research on German theatre often focuses on dramatic pieces staged in Germany, the aim of this research was to examine the works by German theatre director Erwin Piscator during his exile in Soviet Russia, France, and finally in the United States of America during World War II. The material, however, showed that Piscator's work in the US was of special importance among his works created in exile. Therefore, the research focused on his activities as the director of a Theatre School in New York City and on two presentations given at the annual conferences of the Japanese Society for Theater Research (JSTR). The latter presentation will be published as a research paper in the journal of the JSTR in Japanese.
