“Marriage” Reprised

Summary/Abstract: Gogol’s Marriage (the Studio Theatre in Warsaw, prem: 4 II 2013) was directed by Ivan Vyrypaev under the influence of inspirations from the theatre of Yevgeny Vakhtangov. In the author’s view, both directors are searching for ways of “crossing the boundary between the actor-as-a-character and actor-as-human-being” as well as exploring the relations between the actor and spectator, understood in a similarly dualistic manner. Gogol’s language is therefore at the service of Vyrypaev’s attempts to both investigate the reception of this writer’s work and to return to early theatrical conventions (regarded as obsolete) and initiate a dialogue between artists and spectators through experiencing the past.
