Celem artykułu jest analiza sztuki Matéi Visnieca Hécatombéon, stanowiącej współczesną wersję mitu o Prometeuszu, w porównaniu do utworu Ajschylosa Prometeusz w okowach, co pozwala zaobserwować interesujący dialog, jaki nawiązuje się między hipotekstem a hipertekstem. Opierając się la terminologii zaproponowanej przez Gerarda Genetta, analiza ukazuje sposób, w jaki dokonują się rożnego rodzaju transformacje na poziomie hipertekstu, i proponuje nowe odczytanie sztuki Ajschylosa przez pryzmat hipertekstu.

Applying the terminology of G.

The issues which pertained to a new interpretation of this author’s writings are particularly discussed.

At first glance, the protagonist of the play has none of the characteristics of a vagabond. However, subjected to a more thorough analysis, he proves to be endowed with many features typical of a wanderer, such as alienation, unrest, loneliness, social isolation and individualism. In the text he is described as a man who is « in the search for himself, » his exile is, first and foremost, a metaphysical search for his own « self » and for the meaning of life. He is also a character undergoing a metamorphosis – from a lecher he becomes a saint. The shift seems to come as a consequence of being an exile from his own country. This exile, however, in its literal dimension, becomes too heavy a burden for him, and, be rid of the burden, he chooses to die a martyr. This article presents the evolution of the personality and the shift in the social standing of the character, as well as the reasons for, and consequence of, his exile.

The eponymous hero of this little-known play by Jean Anouilh is perceived by other protagonists as absent. Nevertheless, his presence is becoming more and more vivid with the development of the plot, which is illustrated by the analysis presented in the article. It shows the process in which the absent hero transforms into a character fully present in the text. The detailed analysis of the character’s presence in particular space-time dimensions, as well as the actant analysis prove that the main character pretends to be absent from the beginning of the play in order to achieve a definite goal.

The play The Return Home by Matéi Visniec commemorates the First World War, but thanks to its universality it may refer to any war. The characters – the Dead of the Homeland – are all presented as alive and they claim their right to a dignified return to the Homeland. But how to return home with dignity in the state of decomposition in which they are? As it happens every day in a community life, ambitions take over. The Commission of Reconciliation solves the problem by proposing to return them “in cake”: all the soldiers pass through a food mill to become a smooth paste with which then a giant cake is made. This return to the past, presented through grotesque images, serves the author to denounce how people are manipulated by big ideas. He also poses questions about the meaning of war.

The above work is a conjecture on a new interpretation of the complicated friendship between Henry II, King of England, and Thomas Becket, saint martyr, as characters in Jean Anouilh’s play Becket or The Honour of God. They have little in common, and it seems that everything divides them. An analysis of this opus is used as a starting point to a general reflection on the influence of external factors such as social status and political framework, as well as internal factors such as personality traits, value system, and propriety on particular stages of friendship. The analysis is also an attempt at defining the concept of friendship presented in the play.

Arrestation by Jean Anouilh is a peculiar study of feelings such as hatred, anxiety, regret and shame. The feelings originating from his humble upbringing, have a negative impact on relations with loved ones. The author has chosen a quite interesting way to portray those complicated relations by means of retrospection, which at the same time is the introspection of the protagonist. It helps him to finally understand and tame his negative emotions, which according to him, were the reason for his life’s misfortune. Some critics have discerned the author’s incarnation in the protagonist. Through this creation the author can express on stage his own feelings, which seemed to be too difficult for him to express in real life. However, knowing the author’s unpredictability and his inclination for provocation, there is a suspicion that it might only be a sort of game played with the critics and the audience.

The Sailor, one of the more important works of Jerzy Szaniawski, has been regarded by the critics as dealing with the issues of truth and legend. The aim of the paper is to present a new interpretation of the play and to show that the key problem addressed by the playwright is the conflict between Form and Life, which is considered by numerous critics to be the quintessence of the so-called philosophy of Luigi Pirandello. The similarities between the theatres of both playwrights have been frequently, albeit in rather general terms, pinpointed by critics. Therefore, it is worth examining The Sailor in the context of works by the Sicilian author. The study indicates that Szaniawski’s play contains numerous elements vital in Pirandello’s works, such as: the problem of the relativity of truth, the impossibility to define a human personality, the confinement of an individual into a form as a consequence of judgements by others, and – most importantly – the conflict between Form and Life, and their mutual relations, all of which let us claim that The Sailor is close to Pirandello’s works.

The purpose of this article is to analyze different aspects of the crisis present in the play entitled The King, the Rat and the King’s Fool by Matéi Visniec. In this grotesque play, we move from a crisis of the monarchy, situated in a world that is both carnivalesque and revolutionary, to a crisis of humanity in democratic society. The madness of the leaders, the degeneration of the society, the crisis of the words and the manipulation of the history, which is at the service of the politics, are the main facets of the crisis, denounced by the author through the various forms of the grotesque and around which the present analysis is structured.

Dans cette pièce grotesque, on passe d’une crise de la monarchie, située dans un univers à la fois carnavalesque et révolutionnaire, à une crise de l’humanité dans la société démocratique. La folie des dirigeants, la dégénérescence de la société, la crise de la parole et la manipulation de l’Histoire, qui est au service de la politique, tels sont les principaux visages de la crise dénoncés par l’auteur à travers les différentes formes du grotesque et autour desquels s’articule la présente analyse.

This article is an attempt to describe the reciprocal influence of Matéi Visniec’s life and work. Based on Dominique Maingueneau’s theory of literary context and the paratopia related to it, we try to go beyond the socio-political context of Romania at the relevant time, which undoubtedly influenced the then-young writer’s perception of the world. We are, however, more interested in Visniec’s specific attitude, reflected in his work, of facing the regime and censorship that forbade the publication and exhibition of his plays and the resulting paratopia. In line with Maingueneau’s notion of bio/graphie, we try to show that Visniec’s work both reflects his life experiences and shapes his life.

The Trial of Jesus by Diego Fabbri is undoubtedly a play written under the influence of Luigi Pirandello. The analysis presents the use of similar drama techniques which can be found in Diego Fabbri’s work and in the trilogy of Pirandello: Sei personaggi in cerca d’autore, Ciascuno a suo modo, Questa sera si recita a soggetto. It simultaneously points some differences which can be noticed in a very similar concept of theatre proposed by both authors.
