ABSTRACT

This article shows how drama in landscapes becomes a metaphor for how drama can interact with nature; in the Renaissance by creating the illusion of the forest in the pastorals to the symbolism of the turn-of-the-century, when spirituality came to expression in static drama, by the dissolution of the dramatic physically and in landscapes. This also opened up in cabaret drama and dream plays in the sense of numbers and stations. Drama in landscapes may be considered in different ways, be it in the panoramic or the showing of situations as with Gertrude Stein or being simply the reflection of the gods in topographic discourses.
