Zszywanie. Pierwszy rok dyrekcji Andrzeja Seweryna w Teatrze Polskim w Warszawie
Suturing

Summary/Abstract: The author describes and analyzes the first year of Andrzej Seweryn’s direction of the Polski Theater in Warsaw. Zielińska first mentions the theater’s financial problems, which appeared at the outset of the director’s stint, acknowledging that they have been an important context for his work. She then presents Seweryn’s intellectual, artistic, and political standpoint, seeing these as the basis for the decisions he makes. In presenting the repertoire she divides it into two basic streams: the reconstruction of old theatrical aesthetics, and the plays dealing with Polish issues. While this key to the repertoire seems clear to the author, the choice of directors raises some doubts, as to a large degree they decided upon the fairly low artistic merit of the plays.
