Summary/Abstract: Paweł Passini’s Ancient Tragedies (Wojciech Bogusławski Theater in Kalisz, Jerzy Grotowski Institute, neTTheatre, Culture Center in Lublin, Artes Liberales Interdisciplinary Research Institute of Warsaw University, the Near East Artists’ Association), based on three texts by Euripides (Iphigenia at Aulis, Orestes, and Bacchae), is the first part of the “Dynamics of Metamorphosis” project devoted to the reconstruction of ancient acting technique. In Piotr Olkusz’s opinion, Passini chiefly inquires into the limits of metamorphosis, not of the actors themselves, but of the viewers, who are interested to know how the actor’s experience of “becoming someone else” transforms into shared human experience.
