Theatrical Images of Tadeusz Kantor and the Spanish Surrealist Theater

The Case of "Wielopole, Wielopole"

Summary/Abstract: The first part of the article is a summary of the works whose objective is the analysis of the relation that united Tadeusz Kantor’s relation with the Spanish culture. They are mostly focused on the Spanish pictorial motifs in the visual arts and theatrical work by the Polish artist. Then, the article compares the impossible theater of García Lorca with the impossible theater of Kantor on the thematic level, but mainly on the aesthetic level focusing on the role that the objects play in both scenarios. They appear to be taken from the established system of signs and they become incomprehensible and unusual. In particular, there are two objects compared in Wielopole, Wielopole and in El Público, respectively. They are two rotating beds that at the same time are mortuary beds. Their symbolism and significance are analyzed in separate scenes and whole plays.
