Małe reformy teatru
Minor Theatrical Reforms

Summary/Abstract: A review of Małgorzaty Leyko's book Theater in the Land of Utopia (słowo/obraz terytoria, Gdańsk 2012). The publication is complemented by an overview of the transformations in theater at the turn of the 19th/20th centuries, choosing the Great Theatrical Reform as a backdrop, and focusing on peripheral Utopian/artistic work. The author has combined a description of such places as Monte Verità, Mathildenhöhe, Hellerau, Goetheanum, and Bauhaus with an in-depth analysis of the times, weaving a fascinating tale of "small reforms in theater and spirituality" in the German-language countries, which he sees as an important element in the great transformations.
