Tradition Check. Konrad Swinarski and Theatrical Anachronism
Author(s): Paweł MościckiSubject(s): Theatre, Dance, Performing Arts
Published by: Instytut im. Jerzego Grotowskiego
Keywords: Konrad Swinarski; Polish Theater; Bertolt Brecht; History
Summary/Abstract: Mościcki defines the ontological status of the figure of Konrad Swinarski in contemporary Polish theater discourse. He traces the correlations that come to mind when we consider theater between Swinarski and Brecht, indicating the similarities and the differences in how they conceived the processes that govern the stage. One of the most important concepts in the article is of the theatrical anachronism (occurring during a performance, where very literal, material contemporaneity clashes with the historicity of classic texts), which Swinarski saw as the source of the secrets of historical truth.
