 Title: Misterium zgrozy i urzeczenia. Przedstawienia Jerzego Grotowskiego i Teatru LaboratoriumEdited by: Janusz Degler and Grzegorz Ziolkowski Preface: Grzegorz Ziolkowski Date: December 2006 ISBN: 83-917448-6-8, 978-83-917448-6-4 Dimensions: 168x238 mm Paperback: 628 pages, 106 black and white illustrations, 8 colour photographs Price: 11.00 € Fragment of the book:  Produced as part of the programme of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage ‘This publication is, on the one hand, a form of repayment to the man who has shown the theatre – both Polish and international – new paths; on the other hand, an answer to the urgent need to create a canon of written works dedicated to his performances. A collection that would present his achievements, as well as confirm the character, type, and range of resonances that these works achieve. That would not only capture the transformations undergone by the theatre as a result of his work, but also reveal what was received by the audiences of these performances. To properly evaluate the essential role that Grotowski played in shaping contemporary art and culture, such a publication is most valuable’. (From a published review by Dobrochna Ratajczakowa) |
