Equation for the Universe

Summary/Abstract: Anna R. Burzyńska reviews Monika Pasiecznik’s book The Ritual of the Superformula: Stockhausen Licht published by Krytyka Polityczna (Warsaw 2011). The publication is an ambitious monograph on Karlheinz Stockhausen that focuses on the composer’s opus magnum: the opera Licht. Die sieben Tage der Woche. Burzyńska notes that his works could be a very interesting source of inspiration for theatrologists, as they hold examples of performative thinking about music, profound literary inspiration and operatic verve. Pasiecznik’s book is a brilliant introduction to the subject and an invitation to further discussion.
