Dzieje grzechu. „Nie-Boska komedia”, Żydzi i doświadczenie estetyczne
The story of sin. The Undivine Comedy, Jews and aesthetic experience

Summary/Abstract: Agata Adamiecka-Sitek critically reflects on the cancellation of the premiere of Nie-boska komedia. Szczątki (The Undivine Comedy. Remnants) directed by Oliver Frjić in Cracow's Stary Teatr in November 2013. The performance, cancelled in an aura of scandal, was meant to be a contemporary reply to The Undivine Comedy directed by Konrad Swinarski in 1965. The author reconstructs Swinarski's performance and recalls its earliest reception, visible mostly in the reviews, and goes on to attempt an analysis of the assumptions of the Croatian director working on a performance based on Zygmunt Krasiński's play. In her article, Adamiecka-Sitek focuses predominantly on the question of anti-Semitism, discussed both in the 1965 performance and the ultimately unrealised project by Frljić.
