As Close to Shakespeare as Reason Allows is a book review of the Polish translation of The Quality of Mercy: Reflections on Shakespeare by Peter Brook. The reviewer thoroughly, chapter after chapter, follows the director’s argument, analysing his reflexions. He emphasises the key questions and problems posed by Brook, who has grappled with Shakespeare’s work and confronted it with real life, the political and social reality, and most of all, with theatrical practice for the last seventy years. The conclusions reached by the author by the end of the book, as brilliant and amazing as they are in their profoundness and simplicity, serve Arkadiusz Rogoziński as a starting point for his own doubts and questions. The review ends with the questions that open up room for further discussion: “Is it possible for the theatre of the Christian world to have some other meaning than that invented by the ancient Greeks? Will freedom, mercy, and quality—the Shakespearean terms analysed by Brook in detail—ever be able to replace pity and fear?”

Peter Brook is one of the few contemporary theatre artists who are deeply conscious of the connection between aesthetics and ethics. He treats the art of theatre as a medium capable of sharpening perceptions and awakening the spiritual sensitivity of the spectator, as well as promulgating the human sensation of reciprocal belonging. Brook’s production of The Tragedy of Hamlet, which testifies to the conformity of the English director’s practice with his theory, is interpreted in light of Brook’s conception of theatre and culture - a conception arising from his conviction about the existence of a common, universal space of anthropological experience.

In the play 11 & 12, based on Amadou Hampate Bâ’s story A Spirit of Tolerance: TheInspiring Life of Tierno Bokara, Peter Brook has used a narration about the past to confront the problems of the contemporary world and the nature of inter-human conflicts. In the mosaic form of the performance he has combined reference to the Elizabethan theatre and the African griot tradition with inter-cultural exploration and Japanese essentialist minimalism. He has intensified the Platonic principle of nature’s duality, which was familiar to the Elizabethans, by confronting it with the Sufi tradition and weaving it into the performance’s structure and spatial construction. The sense of sight (in the physical and spiritual sense) and the proper way of seeing, as well as the related experience of (spiritual) light, which are made into themes of 11 & 12, are indicators of the play’s evangelical message.

The theater is always dying

36%
PL
Teatr zawsze umiera [The Theater Is always Dying] śledzi odporność spektakli teatralnych na żywo w obliczu konkurencyjnych form performatywnych, takich jak kino, telewizja i współczesne usługi przesyłania strumieniowego na osobistych, przenośnych urządzeniach, i koncentruje się na zdolności teatru do kontynuowania roli znaczącej siły kulturowej, społecznej i intelektualnej w obliczu takiej konkurencji. Przypominając Becketta, moglibyśmy zatem zasugerować, że teatr może być na najlepszej drodze umierania, ponieważ jego przedłużający się upadek wydaje się samoregenerować. Niezależnie od tego, czy „wychodzisz z teatru bardziej ludzko niż wtedy, gdy wchodzisz”, jak sugeruje Ariane Mnouchkin, czy też miałeś poczucie, że byłeś częścią, uczestniczyłeś w rytuale społeczności, Dionizja, czy niezależnie od tego, czy czułeś się dotknięty performatywem, ucieleśnione intelektualne i emocjonalne ludzkie doświadczenie może wpłynąć na to, jak oceniasz stan współczesnego teatru. Być może nie zawsze znasz odpowiedź na te pytania natychmiast po spotkaniu teatralnym, a może nawet celowo lub świadomie, ale mimo wszystko coś mogło się toczyć. Możesz okazać się „bardziej ludzki niż wtedy, gdy wszedłeś”.

The Theater Is always Dying traces the resilience of live theatrical performance in the face of competing performative forms like cinema, television and contemporary streaming services on personal, hand-held devices and focuses on theater’s ability to continue as a significant cultural, community and intellectual force in the face of such competition. To echo Beckett, we might suggest, then, that theater may be at its best at its dying since its extended demise seems self-regenerating. Whether or not you “go out of the theatre more human than when you went in”, as Ariane Mnouchkin suggests, or whether you’ve had a sense that you’ve been part of, participated in a community ritual, a Dionysia, or whether or not you’ve felt that you’ve been affected by a performative, an embodied intellectual and emotional human experience may determine how you judge the state of contemporary theater. You may not always know the answer to those questions immediately after the theatrical encounter, or ever deliberately or consciously, but something, nonetheless, may have been taking its course. You may emerge “more human than when you went in”.
