Kobiecość normatywna i nienormatywna w spektaklach Martina Kušeja
Normative and Non-normative Femininity in the Plays of Martin Kušej

Summary/Abstract: Natalia Jakubowa describes two plays by Martin Kušej – Hedda Gabler and The Crucible – in terms of how the director portrays the theme of femininity. She says that in Kušej’s theater the demonstration of physical states plays a major role. Following this thesis, the analysis of Hedda Gabler focuses on how the female protagonists’ physicality is created in Ibsen’s drama. In the part devoted to The Crucible, Jakubowa concentrates on the portrayal of the young group of girls and Elżbieta Proctor. With reference to Arthur Miller’s drama, she claims that the author did not manage to avoid patriarchal cliches.
