The Transition and Polish Political Theatre

Summary/Abstract: The text is an analysis of the Polish premiere of Tony Kushner's drama Angels in America. The drama, staged in 1995 as Angels of America at the Wybrzeże Theatre in Gdańsk, directed by Wojciech Nowak, has not made it into the history of Polish political theatre. However, the testimonies of its reception today allow for a complex analysis of the entanglement of political theatre in the so-called political transition. With the help of the category of 'normality', I am trying to expose the meandering paths of emancipation in the Polish theatre of the 1990s - the time of transition.
