Abstract
This article provides an outline of a sociology of theatrical forms by linking sociological diagnoses of the present with current theatrical practices. The aim is to exemplify a specific interrelation (not a homology) between society and theatre, which is to be understood as an ›aesthetic-subversive practice‹. In accordance with the idea of ›reverse mimesis‹ (V. Žmegač), theatre and society intertwine to form knowledge-poetological interpretations of reality; sociological and theatrical forms thus produce ›realities‹ in an interdependent way; a way to be investigated by a future sociology of theatrical forms. Milo Raus theatre projects offer a first methodological sketch for this.
