Jerzy Grotowski, one of the greatest artists of twentieth-century theatre was a man of meetings. One can say that his artistic path was realized through meetings with people. The book includes notes from meetings between the author and Grotowski, various people’s letters to Zbigniew Osiñski on Jerzy Grotowski, Grotowski’s letters to Osiñski, and a study entitled Dzie³o Jerzego Grotowskiego jako „przedmiot badañ”, in which the author attempts to sum up his experience with Grotowski’s work.
