Summary/Abstract: Another text devoted to The Actor by Cyprian Norwid, directed by Michał Zadara. Maria Prussak notes that Zadara’s play is chiefly based on an insightful reading of the text, for which the director has sought contemporary equivalents. Nonetheless, Zadara sees the world as quite similar to the one Norwid described 150 years ago. Norwid’s text and Zadara’s play are linked by irony and sarcasm – except that the performance uses “harsher tactics, because the play’s protagonists have long discarded the conventions that tempered the responses of the play’s protagonists.”
