Słowno-muzyczne widowisko składankowe jako palimpsest kulturowy – na przykładzie Niech no tylko zakwitną jabłonie Agnieszki Osieckiej
The musical spectacle by Agnieszka Osiecka Let apple trees blossom as a cultural palimpsest

Summary/Abstract: This article concerns the concept of a musical spectacle by Agnieszka Osiecka „Niech no tylko zakwitną jabłonie” (Let apple trees blossom) presented in 1964 in the Ateneum Theater in Warsaw. It is concluded that in this spectacle Osiecka continues the aesthetic tradition of Kram z piosenkami (A stall with the songs) by Leon Schiller, who in his music often recalled the history of Poland of the eighteenth/nineteenth century as recorded in songs. Osiecka reconstructs the next historical period, combining documentary material with literature, both interspersed with songs. This results in a special collage, thanks to which the viewer can immerse in the atmosphere of interwar period and compare it with the 20 years after the Second World War. However, in the Osiecka’s approach, it is no longer a matter of Schiller’s sentimental Arkadia, but the stage reality reflecting the truth of historical facts, and at the same time treating them with ironic distance and commenting often through parody and pastiche.
