Peter André Bloch closely accompanies Friedrich Dürrenmatt's reorientation and development of his work in text and image from 1969 onwards through conversations and analyses. Paradoxes characterize Dürrenmatt's provocative artistry. His theater career was marked by a interplay of great successes and theater scandals. As an experimental playwright, he constantly reinvented himself. Long conversations played an important role in this, as Peter André Bloch repeatedly conducted with him since 1969. The depth of his visions often pushed Dürrenmatt to the limits of representational possibilities, which he explored through a critical examination of image and text traditions. In the 1970s, he increasingly shifted his engagement with the fundamental questions of his time from the theater to the stage of his imagination, to a complex late literary work, and to multifaceted themes that were little known to the public.
