Theatre is an ephemeral art. The memory of its artists and their achievements lives on as long as there are people alive who remember them. But memory is imperfect and selective. That is why anything that preserves it is so precious. Alina Obidniak’s book is well-suited to serve this purpose. It contains a selection of texts, materials and miscellaneous documents that form a vibrant, mosaic-like picture of 1970s and 1980s Jelenia Gora theatre. It will be an indispensable reference for anyone interested in its history.
