Dream of a Harlot

Author(s): Józef Opalski
Subject(s): Theatre, Dance, Performing Arts
Published by: Instytut im. Jerzego Grotowskiego

Summary/Abstract: Józef Opalski reports on the several years of work on Jerzy Jarocki’s play Dream of the Sinless Woman (Helena Modrzejewska Stary Theater in Krakow, premiere: 21.01.1979). He shows how the director’s vision took shape, beginning with the choice of Stefan Żeromski’s drama The White Glove, through repeated changes in the play’s title, to giving it the form of a cabaret and fitting it to the space of the Stary Theater. In the author’s memoirs, a key role was played by the censorship and the political atmosphere of the late 1970s.
