Niedowiara, słabe sacrum i pasja w teatrze postmetafizycznym
Faithlessness – The Weakness of the Sacred and the Passion in Post-metaphysical Theater

Summary/Abstract: Katarzyna Fazan describes plays dealing with contemporary spirituality created specially for this year’ Divine Comedy Festival in Krakow (5-13 XII 2012), grouped under the title Faithlessness. Analyzing plays by Ivan Viripayev, Radosław Rychcik, Wiktor Rubin, Piotr Ratajczak, and Michał Zadara, she states that each artist defined the act of speaking about spirituality and religious issues in the theater in a different way. Zadara’s idea was particularly effective, importing ideas of religion from the West, which allowed him to distance himself from the Polish contexts of the discussion on religiousness in the sphere of a Catholic country.
