Tak, spaliłem własny dom. Z Eugeniem Barbą rozmawia Leszek Kolankiewicz
Yes I Burned Down My Own House: Leszek Kolankiewicz Speaks with Eugenio Barba

Summary/Abstract: A transcription of a meeting (Theater Institute, 17.11.2011) devoted to Barba’s most recent book: Burning Down the House. The Origins of a Director (Jerzy Grotowski Institute and Warsaw University Publishers, 2011). Barba explains how he understands the phrase “burning down the house” – in both a metaphorical and an autobiographical sense. He speaks of the breakthrough stages of his life and work in the context of political and cultural changes. He also responds to questions concerning the effect of art on society, drawing from his experiences in the Odin Teatret he runs in the town of Holstebro, where he has lived for several decades.
