Mąt i dziejowa latarnia
Confusion and the Beacon of History

Summary/Abstract: A review of the play The Affair based on Samuel Zborowski, directed by Jerzy Jarocki at the National Theater (premiere: 17 September 2011). In Jarocki’s latest play Maryla Zielińska sees irritation and dissent toward an understanding of revolt and the right to freedom that disintegrates the community in the act of preserving the “I.” Jarocki suggests reflection and affirmative reconciliation with the world. Thus his play contests the views expressed in Rymkiewicz’s most recent book, discarding his pessimistic view of history in favor of the power and might of human reasoning.
