Investigates the role of art nouveau artists in theatre culture. This book takes a look at different artists' works and how they effected the theatre.

An important element of the new theatre movement was cabaret. The works of Ernst von Wolzogen, the pioneering German exponent of this art form, who gave guest performances with his 'Buntes Theater' in Landau, Frank Wedekind, Arnold Schonberg and the young Pablo Picasso represent driving forces behind the development of cabaret.
