This article presents Edith Piaf not only as one of the greatest icons of French culture in the 20th century, but also as a theatrical and film actress who had dramas and movie scenarios written specifically for her. Her acting accomplishments are impressive, even though in the minds of her fans she is still associated mostly with her singing career. The article aims at presenting Edith Piaf as a theatre actress. The productions in which Edit Piaf performed as an actress are presented from a diachronic and analytical perspective. Not only the plays written especially for Piaf by dramaturge Jean Cocteau and librettist Marcel Achard, in which she performed on stage, but also radio dramas in which she played have been taken into account. In addition, the study discusses the opinions about Piaf’s acting artistry, including those published in the French press.

PL

Artykuł prezentuje Edith Piaf nie tylko jako jedną z największych ikon francuskiej kultury XX wieku, lecz także jako aktorkę teatralną i filmową, dla której powstawały dramaty i scenariusze. Jej osiągnięcia aktorskie są imponujące, choć wielbiciele nadal kojarzą ją głównie z karierą wokalną. Artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie Edith Piaf jako aktorki teatralnej. Przedstawienia, w których wystąpiła, zostały ujęte diachronicznie i analitycznie. Uwzględniono nie tylko stworzone specjalnie dla Piaf przez dramatopisarza Jeana Cocteau czy librecistę Marcela Acharda sztuki, w których występowała na scenie, ale także adaptacje radiowe, w których można było ją usłyszeć. Ponadto artykuł omawia opinie na temat aktorstwa Piaf, w tym te opublikowane w prasie francuskiej.

The purpose of this article is to present a broad spectrum of relations between Arthur Honegger—a composer, and Jean Cocteau—a poet and playwright. They are often associated with the group under the patronage of Cocteau called Les Six, to which Honegger undoubtedly belonged. The poet gathered young composers around himself and became the initiator of artistic meetings and concerts. Most of tchem took place between 1917 and 1921. Cocteau wanted to show the path French music should follow. In accordance to that, his aesthetic manifesto Le Coq et l’Arlequin was published in 1918. In the first section, Honegger’s and Cocteau’s aesthetic views concerning music, elements of musical work and its expression are presented and confronted. Next, the composer’s as well as poet’s work is presented by the example of their cooperation. The analysis of mutual relations leads to the conclusion that, despite many different views, Honegger and Cocteau respected each other and were very kind. The composer significantly departed from the ideals of Cocteau and developed his own individual style resulting from a wide range of musical inspirations. Les Six was a short-lived group and Cocteau himself was gradually moving away from his controversial and radical views.
