Gdy literatura spotyka się z tańcem, czyli o baletowych inscenizacjach Piaskuna E. T. A. Hoffmanna
When literature meets dance – ballet inscenizations of Sandman by E. T. A. Hoffmann

Summary/Abstract: The starting point of this paper was influenced by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s Sandman (1816), which belongs to the dark romanticism period. In 1870, on the basis of this story, a very popular ballet called Coppelia was introduced to the ballet world. The creators decided to present its content in the form of a comedy ballet, focusing on the aspect of the love story.This classical version inspired many choreographers to create their own versions, including contemporary artist Maguy Marin. She introduced her own choreographic diagnosis of male-female relationships based on 20th-century life. This paper reflects on the interesting changes made through the use of dance towards Hoffmann’s text.
