The article is devoted to the specifics of the theatrical reception of Jon Fosse’s work in Poland with particular reference to the first Polish stage productions of his drama The Name (Namnet). The point of reference for the Polish reception is Jens-Morten Hanssen’s research, based on social network theory, into the dynamics of the development of the worldwide interest in Fosse’s drama as well as the nodal and the turning moments points of its stage history. The article characterises the influence of Norwegian cultural institutions and artistic networks on the presence of this dramaturgy in Polish theatre life. The characterisation is based on an analysis and interpretation of the organisational, artistic and cultural determinants of the stage productions of The Name in Warsaw and Wroclaw in 2001, and in Szczecin in 2002.
