I am convinced this book can become quite an event in Polish Kantor studies which is plagued by certain dogmatism and reoccurrence of claims. Its precise argumentation, courage and sweep of interpretive imagination, and especially the profundity and significance of its propositions and the questions it poses, make it a truly extraordinary book, one of the most important I’ve read recently.
    
From publishing review by prof. Dariusz Kosiński


Marta Kufel is a doctoral student in the theatre programme at the Faculty of Polish Studies of the Jagiellonian University, Kraków. In her research into 20th-centry Polish theatre, she seeks a new formula to describe the post-Holocaust experience, establishing links between unorthodox Christian theology, Polish theatre and modern philosophy. Her MA thesis, which was extended and published in book form (“Błędne Betlejem” Tadeusza Kantora, Kraków 2013), received first prize in a competition held by the Zbigniew Raszewski Theatre Institute in Warsaw. In addition to her theatre research, she leads a research group that is currently working on a book about the English-language television series of the past decade. She has published in a number of journals including Teatr and Performer.
