  • Theatre on the Water. the Aquatic Element in Contemporary Polish Theatre
    Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polska (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 PL) Cultural Studies Appendix – English Issue 2019/1 pHOTO-ESSAY ANd AroUNd tHEAtrE oN the WatEr. tHE AqUAtIC ELEMENT IN CONTEMPORARY POLISH THeatre Monika Kostaszuk-romanowska Faculty of Philology, University of Bialystok [email protected] The introduction of water to the stage is certainly not a frequently used theatrical procedure. This is hardly surprising, because the use of this means of theatrical expression significantly increases the production costs of a performance. A few years ago, when the premiere of Richard Wagner’s famous ‘marine’ opera The Flying Dutchman (Latający Holender)1, directed by Mariusz Treliński was being prepared at the Grand Theatre in Warsaw, it became necessary to build a huge 26 by 20 meter tank. It was intended to hold the water (the set designer mentioned as many as 70 thousand liters of water) (see: Dębowska 2012) which poured down on the stage during the performance. The problem was both the size of the tank and its effective insulation. Apparently, the company which offered the lowest bid in the tender valued the performance of this service at 900 000 PLN. Eventually, the tank was built much cheaper, with the help of the theatre workshops (see: Dębowska 2014) The technical team of the Dramatic Theatre in Warsaw faced a similar task earlier in the performance of Krystian Lupa’s Unfinished Work for an Actor (Niedokończony utwór na aktora)2. In order for the lake planned by the director to appear on stage, it was necessary to commission an expert opinion assessing the strength of the floor.

  • Ancient Plays on Stage in Communist Poland
    DOI: https://doi.org/10.4312/keria.20.3.41-74 Elżbieta Olechowska Ancient Plays on Stage in Communist Poland We reached this shameful impasse, when the entire world drama, from Aeschylus to Shakespeare, to Brecht and Io- nesco, became a body of allusions to People’s Poland. (…) I dream of a form of socialist life that will abolish the un- bearable and destructive state of affairs, where the authori- ties see cultural creations and their reception as a constant threat requiring the use of force. Leszek Kołakowski1 Using ancient drama as a vehicle for propaganda or as a weapon in the ideo- logical struggle is neither simple nor predictably successful. The Greek and Roman plays have been established in European culture for millennia, their ideas, conflicts, characters remain part of human psyche “for all seasons”; whether interpreted from the point of view of the past, present, or future, they have been used “for and even against” conflicting ideologies, as per Lech Wałęsa’s famous bon mot.2 Intuitively, we would be inclined to lay such at- tempts at politicising antiquity at the door of the anti-communist intellectual opposition, who knew their classics almost as well as they knew their Pol- ish Romantic bards, rather than blame “working class” politicians for such 1 Leszek Kołakowski (1927–2009) was Polish philosopher and historian of ideas.

Key words: amateur theatre, Olsztyn Mime Ensamble, deaf, silent actors, Bohdan Głuszczak Prologue. The Amateur Theatre of the Deaf-Mute In the 1950s, at the Provincial House of Culture (Wojewódzki Dom Kul- tury) in Olsztyn, an amateur theatre functioned; one of its members was Mirosław Ostaszkiewicz.1 At the end of 1956 his deaf brother Tadeusz, who had been fascinated by theatre for a long time, began to accompany him to rehearsals. Later, he would bring along his deaf friends from the disabled people’s cooperative. After a few months they showed three mime humoresques in sign lan- guage in the sitting room of the Olsztyn branch of the Polish Association of 1 10 lat Olsztyńskiej Pantomimy Głuchych.

  • JANUSZ KIJOWSKI Director of the Stefan Jaracz Theatre in Olsztyn
    www.demoludy.art.pl JANUSZ KIJOWSKI Director of The Stefan Jaracz Theatre in Olsztyn DEMOLUDY IN NEW EUROPE In 1945, among the cinders of World War II, our countries were placed in the Soviet sphere of influence and began to be referred to as “demoludy”; the myth of a communist dawn had lost its lustre and revolutionary charm from the beginning of 20th century. Not unlike all the myths of great empires, thousandyear-old Reichs, commonwealths of two or three nations, Mitteleuropa, Pan-Slavism or the High Porte – also this one was shattered by history… Emperors, monarchs and dictators were losing.
