Słowem – konfrontacje
Confrontations in Words

Summary/Abstract: Beata Kustra describes the 41st Opole Polish Classics Theater Confrontations (5-10.04.2016). She outlines the extensive festival program and the arrangement of the space of the Kochanowski Theater in Opole for many parallel activities, largely focusing on the choices that festival viewers were forced to make. She also mentions the combination of this year’s edition of the festival with the Living Classics Competition for Staging Old Works of Polish Literature, and comments on the appointment of two separate teams of jurors – one from society, the other made up of journalists and critics. She then depicts the dramaturgy of the word and the adaptation strategies of the competition entries, giving a full description of Jacek Głomb’s production of The Self-appointed Czar.
