This study examines contemporary theatrical, filmic, and pictorial representations of Heinrich von Kleist's 1807 novella, "The Marquise of O--." It particularly focuses on the development of a solo music theatre production by a team of German/American, independent theatre artists, of which I was one, in the auditorium of the German Consulate of New York in April 2003. The study integrates research on Kleist, Bertolt Brecht, Bauhaus Theatre, cabaret, representation, feminist theory, and performance aesthetics.
