W oparciu o analizę spektaklu, granego od 2006 r. w Comédie Française (z udziałem m.in. Andrzeja Seweryna), autorka omawia tzw. strukturę „mis en abyme” (efekty zwierciadlane, autotematyzm) „Cyrana de Bergerac” Edmonda Rostanda. Strukturę tę, wirtuozersko wręcz zwielokrotnioną przez autora na różnych płaszczyznach funkcjonowania utworu, można dostrzec już w samym dramacie. W spektaklu Denisa Podalydèsa (zainspirowanym filmem Jean-Paula Rappeneau „Cyrano de Bergerac”) zyskała ona jednak dodatkowy wymiar przez umieszczenie nad sceną ekranu i odniesienia do konwencji kina niemego. Analizując relacje przestrzenne i znaczeniowe, w jakie wchodzą dzięki temu zabiegowi teatr i film, Łucja Demby podkreśla, że obie sztuki są w gruncie rzeczy dwoma różnymi aspektami przedstawiania. W konkluzji autorka nawiązuje do refleksji Michela Foucault na temat „przedstawiania przedstawienia” w odniesieniu do obrazu Velázqueza „Las Meninas”.

The author analyses the spectacle, played since 2006 in the Comédie-Française (with the participation of Andrzej Seweryn) and discusses the so called structure of mis en abyme (mirror effects, self-regarding) in Edmond Rostand’s “Cyrano de Bergerac”. The structure artfully repeated on various planes of the piece can be seen in the drama itself. In Denis Podalydès’ spectacle (inspired by Jean-Paul Rappeneau’s film “Cyrano de Bergerac”) it gained an extra dimension by placing a screen above the stage and by references to the conventions of the silent film. Łucja Demby analyses the spatial and semantic relations which theatre and film enter through this procedure, and stresses that these two plays are two different aspects of presentation. In conclusion, the author refers to Michel Foucault’s reflections on “the presentation of performance” with respect to the image of Velázquez’s “Las Meninas”.
In his novel Les États et Empires de la Lune (Other Worlds, or the States and the Empires of the Moon), Cyrano de Bergerac describes imaginary visits to New France and to the Moon, and he portrays in a burlesque way the society of his time. The encounters of the narrator with alien Lunarian cultures lead to his disappointment. The writer questions all the moral standards, ideals and scientific facts available in his century. Friendship is the only value he does not criticise but estimates.
The main objective of the present study is to focus on Don Quixote’s presence in the poetic and prosaic texts of Rubén Darío, written during his residence in Europe while he was working as a correspondence clerk in Spain and then in France. The author analyzes these texts within the wider context of the Spanish literature of that time and the poet’s work in general. She contemplates the motivation of these texts and searches for the answer to the following question: What role does Cervantes and his great novel play in Darío’s work?
