A Missed Encounter. Krzysztof Warlikowski’s (A)pollonia
Przeoczone spotkanie. (A)pollonia Krzysztofa Warlikowskiego

Summary/Abstract: Dorota Semenowicz draws from the theories of Lacan in considering the ethical dimension of Warlikowski’s play. Citing the three orders of Lacanian psychoanalysis – the Imaginary, the Symbolic and the Real – and dividing the characters in (A)pollonia into executioners and victims, Semenowicz finds that the executioners operate in an Imaginary order, and the victims in a Real order. The author notes that the ethics of this play are, in a Lacanian sense, revealed as insoluble, and emerge on the side of the victims.
