Dialog z pierwowzorem literackim Programy teatralne Andrzeja Mleczki
Dialogue with the Literary Model: Andrzej Mleczko’s Theatre Programmes

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyse selected illustrations by Andrzej Mleczko in thetheatre programmes of Teatr im. Jana Kochanowskiego (Jan Kochanowski Theatre)in Opole (1975–1979) and Teatr im. Stefana Jaracza (Stefan Jaracz Theatre) in Łódź(1979–1988). Drawing on intertextuality theory and the findings of Julia Kristeva,Michał Głowiński, and Ryszard Nycz, the author sets out to interpret the cartoonist’sdrawings as dialogues with their literary models, in which Mleczko uses means suchas parody, caricature, and grotesque. The description of his intertextual practicesis preceded by a discussion of the differences and similarities between the Opoleand Łódź programmes. The illustrations are grouped based on, i.a., the intertextualcriteria proposed by Nycz: attribution, presupposition, and anomaly.
