Szlafrok Prospera
Prospero’s Robes

Summary/Abstract: A review of the play The Tempest directed by Maja Kleczewska (Polski Theater in Bydgoszcz, premiere: 4 II 2012). Wichowska begins by noting that Shakespeare’s plot for The Tempest is, for the artists, a kind of “framework,” from which they culled a few motifs and figures, to construct their own anti-fairy-tale composed of a series of “incidents, micro-activities, psychological facts, and overlapping emotions.” The text also mentions Hellinger’s constellations and the collected dreams of the viewers that accompanied work on the play, calling attention to the ethical risk of using therapeutic methods, and the fact that both ideas are present in Shakespeare’s text.
