Od rekonstrukcji do mistyfikacji i z powrotem
From reconstruction to mystification and back again

Summary/Abstract: Iga Gańczarczyk’s text hinges on is a consideration of Krystian Lupa’s play, Factory 2. The author presents and proves the thesis that “in Lupa’s quests […] we can see a new variant of documentary theatre founded on the gesture of constantly negotiating the arrangement of theatrical reality, balanced on the thin, shifting border between what is real and what is fictional.” Gańczarczyk observes, however, that this type of “documentary turn” is still treated with suspicion in Polish theatre. She calls upon a wide range of examples from visual art and literature (primarily the work of Zbigniew Libera and Aneta Grzeszykowska, the books of W.G. Sebald and Georges Perec, and the novels and photographic collages of Ewa Kuryluk), and draws upon a wide theoretical foundation in her analyses.
