In the World of Potentiality: Gombrowicz, Pinter, Beckett, and Różewicz

Summary/Abstract: This article attempts to analyze Witold Gombrowicz`s, Harold Pinter`s, Samuel Beckett`s, and Ta-deusz Różewicz’s works by using methods that are associated with performative literary studies. Theauthor refers to concepts of quantum physics and introduces a new aesthetic category, “entangledarts”. Among these arts are, for example, drama and theater, which are seen from an anti-binaryperspective. This approach eliminates the traditional division of arts into the art of literature and per-forming arts, thus leading us to look on literature as a performing art. Therefore, the idea of “entangledarts” is not about “the synthesis of arts”, but about their unresolvedness and an act of reading whichrequires one to simultaneously exist and be active in two (or more, potentiality) different realities,for example, in a digital and imagined world, or in film and on stage.
