Summary/Abstract: Anna Róża Burzyńska's article is an introduction to the work of Philippe Quesne and his Vivarium Studio ensemble. The author describes a number of the director's plays (to La Démangeaison des ailes, D’après Nature, L‘Effet de Serge, La Mélancolie des dragons, Big Bang, Next Day), drawing attention to his philosophical approach to the reality. To capture Quesne's special melancholy style, Burzyńska applies the language of phenomenology. At the same time she explains the contexts and inspirations behind the various works, with special attention to the model of the world that emerges in the plays, highlighted through the set design.
