Sumario:This essay focuses on the field of contemporary stage direction, presenting a case study of Thomas Ostermeier’s staging of "Richard III". Ostermeier’s work is approached following the theoretical perspectives of Hans-Thies Lehmann and Erika FischerLichte on postdramatic theatre and the aesthetics of the performative. These authors’ writings provide contemporary aesthetical definitions that can be used as a support to analyse the work of theatre directors who combine the ‘conventional’ and the ‘performative’ in their mise-en-scène.
