The works advertised on the posters are predominantly classics: plays by Friedrich Schiller, Heinrich von Kleist, Georg Büchner, Shakespeare and Chekhov; operas by G. F. Handel, Mozart, Wagner, Puccini and Verdi, and ballets by Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev.  However, contemporary playwrights like Maxim Gorki, Heiner Müller and Peter Weiss are also represented.  Examples include posters from the Berliner Ensembles's premiere production of Bertolt Brecht's \"Mother Courage\"; Deutsche Theater Kammerspiele's \"Der Blaue Boll\" by the Expressionist playwright, Ernst Barlach; Landes Theatre Halle's cutting-edge production of \"Tamerlan\"; Ballet Company of Leipzig's historic performance of \"Bilder Der Liebe\"; and Maxim Gorki Theatre's \"Sinulja\" by Alexander Gelman.

The performing arts provided an outlet for dealing with tragedy and turmoil that defined the creation of East Germany.  The performances often touched on the legacy of the Nazis, the persecution of the Jewish people, and the division of Germany.  Despite the strict censorship in East Germany, during the liberal periods authorities allowed a substantial number of Western performances to take place. In the GDR, America was conceived of primarily as a system of production; its levels of profit and abundance both awed and provoked the wartorn and comparatively impoverished East Germans. The American obsession\nwith productivity and consumption drew the most bitter criticism from German observers.  \nInteresting to consider in this context is the\nperformance of \"Ein Yankee an König Artus' Hof\" (1982), a play adapted from\nMark Twain's novel \"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court,\" in which the\nprotagonist's escalating disillusionment with technology is a prominent motif.\nEven though Fordism may have been grudgingly accepted in the GDR as necessary for economic growth and the ultimate progress of the state, the assimilation of America's cultural barbarism through media imports was fiercely\nresisted.
