Sztukmistrz z Gardzienic
The Magician of Gardzienice

Summary/Abstract: An essay attempting to characterise that sphere of the works of Włodzimierz Staniewski, which transcends the theatre. By reaching for earlier studies and statements made by artists connected with the “Gardzienice” Centre for Theatre Practices the author asks about relations between art and the place in which it is created and presented. In doing so, he proposes the thesis that such a relation is one of the key questions in the reception of “Gardzienice” and that the seat of the Centre for Theatre Practices comprises a fully-fledged work of art. He also takes a close look at contacts between the theatre and the village of Gardzienice and the interference of the artists in the latter’s imaginarium. In the course of his reflections Dominik Gac makes use of, i.a. the category of geo-poetics.
