Hans Urs von Balthasar on Theatre and Drama. In his major work ‹Theodramatik› the swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar outlines a theology with dramatic categories. The dramatic structure of human actions and intentions points to the existential tendency to transcend oneself. But Balthasar is not only concerned with the affinity of theology for theatrical forms of expression, but, that is the deciding point, revelation itself is a dramatic event for him.
