"Bloody drama" in Heiner Muller's creative works: topicality of the genre

Muller in his play Anatomy Titus Fall of Rome A Shakespeare Commentary creates a modern analogue of "bloody drama" genre popular in the XVI century. The themes of twists of fate, order and its destruction obtain a contemporary interpretation, "theatricality" of the play starts to perform new functions, Shakespeare's joker character is rethought. Muller writes drama on the topics of XX century history, experimenting with the classical form and merging tradition with modernity.
