Węgajty Theatre: an Anthropological Guide

Summary/Abstract: The text examines the relationship between the Węgajty Theatre and the space in which it operates and which it creates. The analysis of successive places is a pretext to describe the way in which the Theatre functions and, more extensively, the culture that emerged around it. The authors define the entity shaping local space and spirit as a holobiont, a being composed of many beings, an ecosystem of volunteers, workshop participants, team members, and inhabitants of the surrounding villages, with the Sobaszek couple, the founders of the Theatre, in the very centre. The article formulates a thesis claiming that one of the most important principles followed by the hosts is the ready-made attitude, which assumes a readiness to accept the works of each person individually and the community as a whole in an emergent process set in motion by them.
