Inhuman Humanity: On the Theater of Angela Di Maso

100%
EN
This article discusses Angela Di Maso’s theater, which is a reflection on contemporary society and aims to awaken audiences from social conformity and consumerism. This theater seeks to explore human existence, with its metaphysical anxiety, violence, and the brutality of everyday life present. It challenges social norms and stereotypes, using crude language to tell stories that disturb and provoke self-analysis. Angela Di Maso’s theater has gained recognition and success for its versatility in combining textual and scenic elements, meticulously developed with actors. Di Maso’s work combines tradition and innovation, drawing inspiration from European theater and at the same time representing a form of resistance to traditional and avant-garde theatrical conventions, forging new paths of expression and advocating freedom of expression. The article includes as an appendix an extensive interview with Angela Di Maso, entitled “From Jerzy Grotowski to Angela Di Maso, via Witold Gombrowicz: An Interview with an Enfant Terrible of Italian Theater.”

The article presents the performance Kronos, directed by Krzysztof Garbaczewski in 2013. The performance was an immediate reaction to the extremely intimate work of art written by Witold Gombrowicz. Garbaczewski is involved in reading and staging Gombrowicz’s work since 2008. The article highlights how the creative method presented in Kronos is portrayed by actors during the performance. Moreover, the author shows the phenomenon of poetry epiphany in the play, the coexistence of corporeality and the mind, the processes of tabooisation of the body and mediatization in the play. The author points to common points in the works of Gombrowicz and Garbaczewski. She also draws attention to how the writer’s authority is invoked, a process through which the director legitimises the theatrical exploration.

PL
Artykuł dotyczy teatru Angeli Di Maso, który podejmuje refleksję nad współczesnym społeczeństwem i stawia sobie za cel przebudzenie publiczności ze społecznego konformizmu i konsumpcjonizmu. Teatr ten tematyzuje metafizyczny niepokój wpisany w ludzką egzystencję oraz przemoc i brutalność codziennego życia. Podważa normy społeczne i stereotypy, za pomocą opowiadanych dosadnym językiem historii, które niepokoją i prowokują do autoanalizy. Teatr Di Maso zyskał uznanie dzięki elastyczności w łączeniu elementów tekstowych i scenicznych, precyzyjnie opracowanych z aktorami. Twórczość Di Maso łączy tradycję i innowacyjność, czerpie inspirację z teatru europejskiego, a jednocześnie stanowi formę oporu wobec tradycyjnych i awangardowych konwencji, wytyczając nowe ścieżki ekspresji i opowiadając się za wolnością wypowiedzi. W aneksie umieszczono obszerny wywiad z Angelą Di Maso, zatytułowany „Od Jerzego Grotowskiego do Angeli Di Maso, poprzez Witolda Gombrowicza: Wywiad z enfant terrible włoskiego teatru”
