Reinhard Sorgeʼs The Beggar: “I am so alone / And carry light and cannot find the night”
Abstract
Reinhard Sorgeʼs drama The Beggar is considered one of the first expressionist dramas. In this artistʼs drama the author reflects the evolution from an avant-garde artistic conception linked to theatrical renewal to a messianic vision of art, which relates him to the postulates of Early German Romanticism, to its paradigmatic relationship between art and religion and to its vision of the artist as prophet and mediator with God.
