Christoph Marthaler is the most famous Swiss theatre-maker. A few months ago, he received the Ibsen prize, the “Nobel prize of the theater”. Last year, his play “Me nämeds uf oil supply” in the Schauspielhaus in Zurich, it was Christoph Marthaler’s acclaimed Comeback in this house. The piece is from a sale of indulgences, a company relieved the Rich of their sins, and also to make some money. Marthaler is a member of the company the following:
“When I arrive, I drink acid water with coal. To Encourage and to ensure that the water budget is true. Then I take a glass of white wine, I’m making the rounds and toast. With two glasses of white wine, the limit is. Personally, I hate already the smallest loss of control, would not want to be minimal drunk at a reception.”
Christa Rigozzi in October 2017 in Tamedia Newspapers an Interview. It went to Aperitifs. Rigozzi – business woman and media scholar, TV presenter and Ex-Miss Switzerland – explained how she is behaving in such a each. She said:
“When I arrive, I drink acid water with coal. To Encourage and to ensure that the water budget is true. Then I take a glass of white wine, I’m making the rounds and toast. With two glasses of white wine, the limit is. Personally, I hate already the smallest loss of control, would not want to be minimal drunk at a reception. ”
These and other text are identical. The notes, however just who is familiar with both texts, theatre and newspaper articles. Almost all of the viewers are likely to be assumed to be a sophisticated text creation Marthaler, with the help of the artists of the decadence of his character is illustrated. Because Marthaler has Rigozzi, or the Interview with her anywhere as a source, neither in the play nor in the program folder.
lawsuit would probably be successful
Christoph Marthaler to the error. He makes his dramaturg Malte Ubenauf, align: “That shouldn’t have happened and we are sorry sincerely.” The text of the source, you have unfortunately forgotten. Christa Rigozzi Marthaler would be able to sue for copyright infringement, would be your chances of outstanding.
the Same applies to the etiquette experts, Christoph wrote her talking on the same newspaper page about his aperitif behavior. Also for him the theatre-makers cited without indication of source. Marthaler would have to probably pay at least a few Hundred francs. However, this is only the legal point of view. Artistically, the matter is more complicated, much more complicated.
The shows are also currently confused debate ums new Online copyright, which is the EU-vote Parliament today. Popular digital artists who use Copy/paste for others to see your work and the art forms of the Internet is threatened. Those, on the other hand, whose works are unasked mess to Memes, hope that artistic property is protected in the Web better in the future.

when is it still a quote, and when something completely New? Where to start the sheer Steal? The large, Central questions of art.
appearance Foucault
flashback. Just fifty years ago Michel Foucault considers, in Paris, a lecture. The question and title are: “What is an author?” At the beginning of the unit, Foucault turns to his audience a first node in the brain. He quotes theatre-maker Samuel Beckett, the master of surrealism: “What is it, who’s speaking, someone said, what is it, who’s speaking?”
Michel Foucault, the French Star of the sociologist with the Sentencing of Expertise, takes a revolutionary perspective on texts and their authors. The idea of the author is a modern invention, so that each Text could be the author associated with it. In this way, someone could be held responsible for the thoughts that would be expressed in a Text. These are the thoughts of the rule should differ in opinion, could punish the rule, namely, the author make an example of them. The authors are founders in the case of Foucault, especially unfortunate scapegoats of “Discourse” such as Karl Marx or Sigmund Freud apart.
Marthaler to the error. Sincerely sorry to do him, says his dramaturge.
For Foucault, would be a Marthaler, therefore, a mere place holder, through the discourses, as a Rigozzi, if you comment in the newspaper. At the end of his lecture, Foucault sketches the utopia of a author loose discourse: texts should unfold “in the anonymity of a Gemurmels”. The question of who wrote a Text originally, the question of originality – it was outdated for Foucault. No penalties and no Ibsen prices, and no copyrights.
Foucault, represents in the history of literature, an extreme position. On the other hand, the idea of the author’s genius, creates entire worlds out of himself. An extreme example of this is the Zurich German Philipp Theisohn shows in his book “plagiarism. A nothing-fancy literary history”. Theisohn tells the story of Paul Albrecht, a German Professor in the 19th century. Century.
Professor Albrecht was obsessed with the idea of transferring gotthold Ephraim Lessing, the Unoriginalität. The Professor distinguished sharply between “Eigenhirnigem” and “Fremdhirnigem”. What Lessing, like me, the author of the theatre classic “Nathan the wise”, was all “foreign hirniges product”. Albrecht saw Lessing, Molière’s mouth, and in the case of Luther, believed that to expose a particularly refined Kleptomaniacs. If one of its Overpasses liked somewhat even on a speculative basis, was for him only a further proof of the cunning of the Geistesdiebs, he imagined himself to philological closely on the heels.
in 1894, took Albrechts plagiarism hunting, however, came to an abrupt end, as the Professor from the top floor of his Villa plunged into the death. This was after he was the sixth Anti-Lessing-Band. Actually, Albrecht had had ten pieces of it planned.
Brecht Also “forget”
is it any wonder? Those who go out from the pure, completely independent creative genius, to be mad with disappointment, and chaotic tangles sooner or later. Somewhere you need to come just yet, and something you need to be able to settle, the ideas, materials and forms, the authors – and anyway the words, without which it is not, and in the rarest of cases, “eigenhirnig”.
to Have looked to Paul Albrecht, Christoph Marthaler, he would have taken a similarly bad end. Possibly the usual collages, and Samples of contemporary theatre would have him even a little earlier in the insanity.
Also the most influential German-speaking theatre-makers of the 20th century. Century Theisohn devotes a Chapter. Bert Brecht said, like Marthaler, when he was transferred to the Abkupferns, he forgot to mention “unfortunately” – and provided the explanation: The have to do with his personal “fundamental laxity in questions of intellectual property”. As Michel Foucault mused Brecht from a copyright-free art. He kept cleaning physical Map of quotations and the right to property for late capitalist quirks that had to dispose of it immediately.
call Rigozzi
And Christoph Marthaler? His pieces are always a mixture of self-written and quotes, Ubenauf stated Dramaturg Malte. With only may differ, anyone who reads the program folders and the Christa Rigozzi-quote is not find even there. Who provides at Marthaler exactly what or writes is unclear. Change a text passage by Marthaler yourself, at times by the playwright, is from a actor again from someone else like Rigozzi.
“the labyrinthine Ways” came the Rigozzi-quote into the piece, says Ubenauf. Those who have copied from the Team, it has not, unfortunately, be reconstructed. “I mean, it was Marthaler himself who came with the “Tages-Anzeiger” and the Rigozzi-side on the sample stage. I’m not sure.” Even if Marthaler much in the collective is, is his legal understanding of authorship on the conservative side. Christoph Marthaler have no intention of copyright sources unrecognizable, and to revolutionize the Copyright, Ubenauf insured is also a dramaturge.
Which brings us back to the paragraphs of the law. Call Christa Rigozzi. If you sue Marthaler now? The Manager answers the phone, Clearly align:, here is a copyright violation exists definitely. Not gonna sue you Marthaler. That Rigozzi’m quoted in a Marthaler-piece, but one thing above all: quite amusing.
