Summary/Abstract: The art icicle constitutes a case study in the area of writing for the stage. Projekt V. is a theatrical enterprise created by Ewa Kaczmarek (alias: Laura Leish). It comprises spectacles Wera V. and Elise V.; which are inspired by the contents of three hundred and three postcards found in the collection of the University Library in Poznań. The artist’s project is an example of correlation of many materials in the newest performing arts; of writing for the stage in the aspect of the performative process of creating a spectacle. The “case” presented here belongs to various themes proposed for consideration: from the methods and conventions of writing for the stage in modern theatre; through adaptational strategies of theatre writers and the theatrical text as a tool for critical consideration of reality; to perfomative text construction or para-verbal narrations. In her project; Ewa Kaczmarek discourses with the tradition of writing for the stage; individual history and women’s narratives. Her actions are based on searches within the frameworks of the text; she deconstructs it; employs the principles of collage; palimpsest; compilation; the poetics of a remix and recycling. She is not averse to narrative experiments. Constructing of texts has a performative character here; a heteronomous composition of words; gestures; audiovisual images/projections is created.
