In Everything: And Other Performance Texts from Germany, Matt Cornish has curated a collection of texts sourced from performances by five of the most renowned theater collectives currently active: andcompany&Co., Gob Squad, Rimini Protokoll, She She Pop, and Showcase Beat Le Mot. These texts, drawn from diverse theatrical events, including those categorized as documentary, post-dramatic, and live art, defy conventional play formats. They encompass a range of formats, including improvisation guidelines, theatrical scenarios, transcripts, and even a soup recipe. Despite the experimental nature of these texts, they contain profound poetry, exploring themes of disability, triumph, and unconventional fairy tales interspersed with communist songs. This volume serves as an extension of the original theatrical experiments, inviting readers to engage with the material actively. The texts serve as a call to action, urging readers to watch the news, listen to music, prepare soup, and dance. While the groups do not intend for actors to replicate the words presented here verbatim, they encourage readers to adapt and modify the ideas and rules to create their unique theatrical productions.
