Using Berlin as an emblematic city for the changes within Eastern Germany since unification, this essay relies on the perspective of performance to examine the “social drama” of German unification. In its focus on the notion of the “threshold” as both a physical and symbolic locus for the transitional experience by which former East German citizens adapt their lives, the essay probes several levels of social masking: how the ex-GDR government staged itself; the use of social facade among GDR citizens; and the present dilemma for those citizens who now must adopt new roles and masks within the new Germany. By suggesting a disjunction between such every-day societal performances and the staged performances in contemporary German theaters, the essay links the future direction of the German theater to a redefinition of boundaries inherent in the offstage unification process. |
