Stygmaty Elfriede Jelinek
The stigmata of Elfriede Jelinek

Summary/Abstract: Reviewing The Winter Journey, based on the text by Elfriede Jelinek anddirected by Paweł Miśkiewicz at the Polish Theatre in Wrocław (prem. 30 Oct 2014), Paweł Schreiber reflects on the problem of the „dramaturgy of vanishing”, noticed by Monika Szczepaniak in the Nobel Prize winner's writing. The author juxtaposes the Wrocław performance with Maja Kleczewska's version performed at the Polish Theatre in Bydgoszcz, as well as Philip K. Dick's novel The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. However, he devotes most of his attention to the idea of splitting the character of Elfriede Jelinek into five actresses, representing different generations, personalities and attitudes.
