Opis

This book is a compendium of texts by international authors which reflect on Tadeusz Kantor s art in a broad range of contexts. The studies include works of prominent art historians, theatrologists and artists. The present revisiting of Kantor s artistic uvre reflects a contemporary historiographic approach. The authors place value on individual memory and consider contemporary art outside the traditional boundaries of particular artistic genres. The studies employ the latest strategies for researching theatrical performance as autonomous statements, without a literary anchor. Thanks to this approach, the eschatological and historical issues, crucial to the sphere of reference of Kantor s Theatre of Death, have acquired a new presence as art that liberates thinking in the here-and-now."
