The Post-Traumatic Theatre of Grotowski and Kantor

Více o knize

Focusing on the impact of national trauma, this volume offers a historical and critical analysis of Jerzy Grotowski's 'Akropolis' and Tadeusz Kantor's 'Dead Class'. It explores how each director interprets Auschwitz, revealing how these performances reshape the understanding and reception of Polish theatre within and beyond its cultural context. By addressing gaps in English-language scholarship, the book sheds light on the complexities of Polish theatre's influence and significance on an international scale.
