Literature, Music, Theatre?

This publication intends to answer the following research question: is the nature of the stage shows by the German music band Rammstein performative? The research problem has an interdisciplinary character and the main research direction is based on the comparative method, which deals with literature in a broad context.

The aim of my work was to show the performative nature of the stage performances of the musical group Rammstein. Due to their amazing nature, the group's shows can be treated as artistic performances. In my dissertation, I will determine whether there is an increased impact on the viewer by artistic means, throwing them out of the passive attitude of the observer and encouraging them to take action within the spectacle in real time. This interaction is possible and closely related to the acts of communication that can be transmitted through a specific communication channel or, as in the case of stage implementation, connect them with each other. So far, there has been no publication that deals with such an analysis of Rammstein's concerts.
