The concept of mythos is fundamental in Ancient Greek theatre and Aristotelian aesthetics. It is normative in different classicist doctrines from the 17th; 18th and 19th centuries and in 20th century popular culture it rules implicitly. In contemporary experimental theatre; especially that kind of theatre described by Hans-Thies Lehmann in Postdramatic Theatre; the concept of mythos has changed and mythos is just one of several elements in complicated dramatic structures.
In this article dramas by Elfriede Jelinek (Ein Sportstuück; Ulrike Maria Stuart) and Roland Schimmelpfennig (Auf der Greifswalder Strasse; Das Reich der Tiere; Idomeneus) are discussed; as well as the mises-en-scène by Einar Schleef; Nicolas Stemann and Jürgen Gosch.
