„Warsaw has gone berserk with those Italians”: Fan Cultures in Late 19th and Early 20th-Century Warsaw from the Perspective of Theatre Migration History

Summary/Abstract: Warsaw has gone berserk with those Italians”: Fan Cultures in Late 19th- and Early 20th-Century Warsaw from the Perspective of Theatre Migration History. The author examines nineteenth-century Warsaw theatre through the lens of migration and fan–celebrity relations, focusing on fan practices and parasocial bonds established by local audiences with nomadic star performers. Both perspectives—the fan-based and the migratory—enable a reconsideration of the mechanisms of desire and gratification that underpin theatrical production, as well as the economic dimension of theatre, which remains contingent upon transfer, translation, mobility, and, ultimately, access to the metropolitan centre. They allow for a revaluation and reconceptualization of the history of nineteenth-century Polish theatre, revealing phenomena that were by no means marginal in nature but have been marginalized at various stages of historical production.
