The Postwar Theatre in Poland

Abstracts

EN

The essay published in Vinduet in 1963 characterises what the author takes to be the most notable features of the phenomenon of Polish theatre life. By way of introduction, Barba outlines some historical background and then goes on to recount the work of selected theatre directors (Axer, Dejmek, Skuszanka, Swinarski, and most of all, Grotowski) and stage designers (paying most of his attention to Szajna). He is also interested in the teaching of acting and directing at Polish theatre schools, in how the companies are organised, in the amateur and student theatre life, and the development of Polish drama (Broszkiewicz, Mrożek, and Gombrowicz). The portrayal of a blooming theatre life and its multifarious development in Poland was meant to be a challenge and inspiration for the Norwegian artists and intellectuals.
