Zasada teatralnej entropii
The principle of theatrical entropy

Summary/Abstract: Anna R. Burzyńska presents an account of some of the projects she took part in as a viewer or active participant during Impulse Theater Biennale (27.06.-6.07.2013). The main theme of the Biennale’s projects and events was entropy seen as a connecting principle in the relation between the artist and the viewer. In this context, entropy could be defined as a spontaneously generated energy which allows one to change roles and perspectives from that of a viewer to that of a participant. In every project the participants were offered some methods of engaging with the theatrical reality which allowed them to start a creative co-operation with the artists responsible for the given task. Anna R. Burzyńska considers this form of active participation as a great advantage and achievement of the festival which is commonly seen as the most important presentation of the postmodern theatre.
