Summary/Abstract: The twentieth century, recently completed, was marked, as we all know, by profounddesacralization, by a phenomenon of secularization and relativism which often strikes blasphemy. In these times, no doubt seeing the spiritual death in which their peers struggled and the inability to find meaning in life, the theorists of the twentieth-century theatre tried to return to the beginning, wanting to restore the connection between ritual and theatre. Two of them are distinguished through the „mystical” pathos of their searches, related as impulse, different in nuance: Artaud and Grotowski.
