The article presents the originality and the timeless meaning of the 1959 Eugène Ionesco play, Rhinoceros which is situated, despite its unambiguous ‘animal’ parable, within the Theatre of the Absurd. In the perspective of the author of the article it is not only Ionesco’s protest against fascism conditioned by the political circumstances which is significant in particular time but the work portraying mechanisms of influence on society, which appears as ‘the masses’, the whole of the society, devoid of any deeper connection with ethical and moral values of humanistic culture, common to all authoritarian ideologies. Among others, the article refers to opinions of scholars of drama and theatre critics on the evolution of Ionesco’s dramatic works and such sociological‑cultural and literary contexts as: 1) José Ortega y Gasset’s thoughts on brutal ‘direct action’ applied to the masses by force factors and on ‘fear of touch’ felt by an individual defending the values of humanistic culture, included in The Revolt of the Masses; 2) plays by Ionesco in which the theme of metamorphosis is important; 3) other works of the Theatre of the Absurd of similar meaning but using different artistic means, Samuel Beckett’s Catastrophe in particular.

Andrzej Wirth, a 20th century Polish essayist, philosopher and theatre critic, is one of the often forgotten theatre and drama scholars in Poland, perhaps due to his long life in exile. A recognized expert in theatre studies and philosophy, he has lectured at many universities around the world, especially in the United States and Europe. He gained particular recognition as the founder and director of the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies at the University of Giessen in Germany. The aim of this article is to introduce Wirth’s personality, outline his life between cultures and highlight his importance for the development of theatre studies in Germany, as well as his great contribution to the promotion of Polish literature in Germany in the mid-20th century. Andrzej Wirth’s life was beyond borders and divisions, although with a particular attachment to the culture of his homeland and Germany; he was rooted in childhood memories and a desire for theatre as a liberated art in an age of evolving media technologies.

This article concerns three selected works of the 20th Century drama: Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus (which had its first-night performance in the Oliver Theatre in London on 11.02.1979), The Impostor Gyorgy Spiró (staged before the Budapest audience in the theatre Katona József Szinhaz on 28.10.1983), and the drama The Four Hand Dinner of Paul Barz (included in the repertoire of European theaters after its first-night performance at the Deutsche Oper in Berlin on 27.01.1987). These dramas present the very thorough, and at the same time subtle analysis of the relationships between artists talented in varying degrees: their mutual curiosity, excessive admiration, cautious distance, small mutual malice or resulting from complexes passionate jealousy. It is interesting that the three so different playwrights used in these dramas the same structural scheme: reaching into the history of theater or music, on the canvas of real artistic biography they created their own tale about desire of unattainable fame, about creative solitude and social exclusion of talented misfits.
