Things and Actors

Summary/Abstract: Katarzyna Waligóra provides an overview of the role of objects during rehearsals for the play The Towiańists, Kings of the Clouds by Jolanta Janiczak and Wiktor Rubin. The author analyzes the way substitute props were used while working on the play, and the confrontation between actors/the director and the materials, which give resistance and cannot easily be subordinated. She calls attention to the dynamic shifts in relationships between the actor and the object, pondering the role of the prop in the process of creating the play, whose visual/sensual effect is ultimately hidden behind a network of semiotic links.
