Nie można bezkarnie ważyć się powtarzać czegoś, co było już raz w życiu. Czas zamącony się mści. Rzecz o spektaklu "Wielopole, Wielopole" Tadeusza Kantora
“You cannot dare repeat something that has already been and get away with it. Time will have its revenge.” On Tadeusz Kantor’s "Wielopole, Wielopole"

Summary/Abstract: This article is an analysis of "Wielopole, Wielopole" by Tadeusz Kantor. It opposes the most well-known interpretations of the play, stating that it is chiefly an artistic diagnosis of the Polish society’s state of mind, unable to liberate itself from the constantly multiplied and reproduced national-Messianic myth that governs it. To this end, the author uses some ideas from Roland Barthes’ Mythologies, and the concept of the holy and the sphere of the sacred by Mircea Eliade. The main research material is a recording of "Wielopole…" produced right after its world premiere in Florence in 1980.
