Oneiric Building Blocks

Summary/Abstract: The latest premiere by Paweł Passini, The Dictionary of the Khazars. Children of Dreams (J. Kochanowski Theater in Opole, premiere: 11 II 2012), is a new incarnation of total theater. Milorad Pavić’s proto-hypertext has been adapted for the theater with impressive verve. The author analyzes the performance in the context of para-textuality (following Gerard Genette’s concept), and also as a road drama of sorts – following a guide, the viewer discovers the various nooks of the Opole theater. The mosaic of scenes painted before his/her eyes follow the logic of a dream. The viewer decides what (s)he really sees.
