The Sexual Life of Savages as an Ecological Play

Summary/Abstract: The article, which is a part of the author’s B.A. thesis, analyzes the Island by Aleksandra Wasilkowska, a scenic object used in Krzysztof Garbaczewski’s famous performance The Sexual Life of Savages. The author juxtaposes the design of the Island and its impact with Timothy Morton’s theory of hyperobjects, focusing his reflections on the possibility of an ecocritical reading of the play. In doing so, he tries to answer the question whether The Sexual Life of Savages, contrary to the reviewers’ interpretations and the creators’ declarations, can be seen in retrospect as a project anticipating the ecological tendencies evident in the latest Polish theatre.
