Items onthe stage are no longer just being symbols which is pointing to the virtualworld, and also can show themselves.In addition,real life only was theobject of the theater in the traditional drama performance, but real lifedirectly went into the theatre which caused the change in the way ofdirectors act,actors performance and observation of the audiences in thePostdramatisches Theater.
