Konstanty Puzyna’s essay on Apocalypsis cum figuris, the last performance of Jerzy Grotowski, before he “departed from the theatre”, is considered to be the quintessential description of this famous theatre piece. It initiated a new trend in interpreting Grotowski’s work. It also marks a turning point in Puzyna’a views: in this brilliant piece he abandoned his skeptical attitude. Forty five years later it was first published, The Return of Christ remains one of the masterpieces of Polish theatre criticism. It stands out thanks to its accuracy, vivid graphic description and emotional landscape.
