This volume attempts to fill in current gaps in English-language scholarship by offering a historical and critical analysis of two of the most influential works of Polish theatre: Jerzy Grotowski's 'Akropolis' and Tadeusz Kantor's 'Dead Class'. By examining each director's representation of Auschwitz, this study provides a new understanding of how translating national trauma through the prism of performance can alter and deflect the meaning and reception of theatrical works, both inside and outside of their cultural and historical contexts.Anthem Studies in Theatre and PerformanceThe Post-traumatic Theatre of Grotowski & KantorHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in artExperimental theaterTheaterPolandHistory20th centuryPerforming ArtsTheaterHistory & CriticismHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in art.Experimental theater.TheaterHistory792/.0233/092Romanska Magda929881Romanska MagdaauthUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910433257903321The post-traumatic theatre of Grotowski and Kantor2090983UNINA
