Summary/Abstract: The article presents the artistic biography of the Japanese director Tadashi Suzuki. The author starts from the events of the Second World War, moves on to his attempts at acting and becoming the director of the Free Weseda Stage and finally discusses Suzuki's most important performances, such as Euripides' The Trojan Women and Bacchae. She explains the „methodology of feet” in actor training and analyses Suzuki's dramatic method. The author claims that for Suzuki the body is an expression of culture and its emblem, „the key, but also the dictionary, a record, the locus of erasing, eradicating the record”.
