Heiner Müller was a German dramatist, poet, writer, essayist and thetare director, that people in the field call one of the best poets since Samuel Beckett -an other big one that I admire-. He was born on January 9, 1929, and died on December 30, 1995.

We can say by his carrer that he paved the way for the new generation of writers, directors and dramaturgs. Basically, in theatre, his works marks the beggining of a tradition on a densely poetic dramaturgy based on the loggic of assosiation, rather than linear dramatic narrative.

Müller's legacy on theatre replaces the "closed" didactical form of the Brechtian parable "opening" dramatic forms offering multiple meanings based on a surreal montage dramaturg. On Müller's breakthrough work "Hamletmachine," we may commence undistractedly our dreadful but all-important dialogue with the dead. He sais "Forget about love and turn your face to history". With Müller’s work, theater is a forum for examining history; it is "a dialogue with the dead."

I think theatre is the most important social tool on the artistic forms. Art is, above all, a way to investigate history, and on a very interesting way to study it. But I also think that artist put the information to be used on a long time after they make their works. So I think Heiner Müller makes some kind of work in wich you can see this investigation on the job, on the time of the work, thing that caracterize the escenical work on the XX Century, the century of the revolutions.

I also piked this man because I think that in thatre there are not so many social investigators living the same proces of its time on its work, and I see that Müller does it and on a very inteligent way.

Example: you should take a look to HAMLETMASHINE by Heiner Müller.
