Summary/Abstract: This article considers Witold Gombrowicz’s Diary in relation to his work as a playwright. The author’s unique and paradoxical relationship to theater in his lifetime is critically discussed alongside his significance as Poland’s most frequently produced playwright abroad, in particular through his play Ivona, Princess of Burgundia. The performative nature of Gombrowicz’s Diary is explored, along with the author’s creation of a persona in and around the work. The combination of Gombrowicz’s specific tragic vision in the Diary and his play The Marriage is contrasted with his embrace of lightness as a key artistic principle.
