Teatr oświeconych jako laboratorium nowej rzeczywistości
Theatre of the Enlightenment as a laboratory of a new reality

Summary/Abstract: Małgorzata Sugiera introduces the reader to the eighteenth-century lineage of the idea of theatre as a laboratory. The author juxtaposes the views of, for example, Bertolt Brecht with those of Denis Diderot, especially those present in The Paradox of Acting and Conversations on The Natural Son. She notices that the links between science and theatre have always been very strong and based on mutual benefit. Referring to Joseph Jacotot's theory of education (known mainly thanks to Jacques Rancière’s book), the author emphasises that the aims of science and theatre in the Enlightenment were in fact the same.
