Summary/Abstract: This sketch is an aspect-oriented presentation of Wędrowki niebieskie (Blue Wanderings) – the first spectacle staged at Teatr NN (the NN Theatre), written and directed by Tomasz Pietrasiewicz in 1990. The author drew attention to the genetic connection between the theatrical matter of the production and the literary works, which create the textual stratum. She also pointed out a striving, revealed in the spectacle, towards building on stage an “intimate form”. By referring to the tradition of the “poor theatre” and “private art”, this form is contrasted with the “spectacle” form of a theatre created “with the public in mind” (i.e. vying for success) and becomes a canvas of a theatrical event offering an opportunity for participating in “essential conversation”.
