Free spaces for fantasy: description of image, by Heiner Müller

The article discusses Heiner Müller's play Description of image as an example of his late playwriting. By analyzing the various movements of the text, we seek to understand its qualification, given by Müller himself in his autobiography, as an autodrama, a term that would refer, according to the hypothesis of the article, to a comparison with the Brechtian genre of the learning play (Lehrstück).
