This thesis explores the use of eucharistic language in the theatre theories of three different mid-20th-century Polish theatre companies--the Reduta Theatre, the Rhapsodic Theatre, and the Laboratory Theatre--especially as expressed in the writings of their respective primary founders: Juliusz Osterwa, Mieczysław Kotlarczyk, and Jerzy Grotowski. The thesis also describes how the Rhapsodic and Laboratory Theatres inherited different elements of the Reduta tradition, and how those two diverging branches of the Reduta's legacy have affected contemporary theatre. In addition, the thesis examines how different 20th-century theatre theorists have related the eucharist to theatre, and evaluates the legitimacy of the claim that religious rituals such as the eucharist can and ought to be replaced by secular theatrical rituals. Special attention is paid to Carl Lavery's three views of the sacred: secular, theological, and a/theological. Alexander Schmemann's conception of the eucharist is used to correct Lavery's presentation of the theological sacred and to argue for the possibility of a Christian sacred theatre, or a "eucharistic theatre." The thesis defines the concept of a eucharistic theatre; demonstrates the extent to which the Reduta, Rhapsodic, and Laboratory Theatres meet this definition; and suggests some ways in which a eucharistic theatre may be created today.

The article offers an interpretation of the significance of Juliusz Osterwa’s stay in Samara (July 1915 to February 1916) for his artistic development. This interpretation is based on a reading of personal papers: the Samara Notebook, a letter to Kornel Makuszyński, dated 1915, and Osterwa’s memoirs from the 1930s. The picture of the artist’s time in Samara emerging from these sources is complemented by the findings of Russian historians, reconstructing the fate of Polish refugees during the First World War. The juxtaposition of the image of Samara found in historical works with the image sketched in Osterwa’s notes reveals a mechanism of concealing painful experiences with mental constructs in the artist’s auto-narratives. The article puts forth the hypothesis that Osterwa’s stay in Samara engendered a serious existential crisis, which was overcome in December 1915 thanks to a nativity play produced together with Wincenty Drabik. The Samara sadness allowed Osterwa to distance himself from his star status. The clash with foreignness sharpened his cultural awareness and gave him a new perspective. The Christmas performance enhanced his understanding of the social function of the theatre as a place of overcoming an identity crisis.

The article discusses Juliusz Osterwa’s functioning in the socio-political space. The focus is shifted from the Reduta founder’s theatre activity to his methods of operating within the sphere of public life and to his relations with decision-makers who could determine whether particular artistic undertakings would be carried out or not. Attention is paid to the network of his connections with Freemasonry, which in the interwar period had a significant impact not only on the social or political reality, but also on artistic life. Interested in esotericism, anthroposophy and romantic spiritualism, Osterwa was a member of the first Masonic lodge established in independent Poland; he had extensive contacts in the Freemasonry circles, and he used them to pursue his theatre plans. The article also offers a reflection on Osterwa’s activity as an artist-cum-social activist and a citizen artist, often connected with the ideals of Freemasonry. By linking selected episodes from Osterwa’s biography with their historical and institutional contexts and religious-esoteric inspirations, the article demonstrates various aspects of the artist’s personality and his complicated relations with the authorities in the interwar period and in the first years after the war.

Based on epistolary material and diaries, the article attempts a reconstruction of the history of Juliusz Osterwa’s (1885–1947) friendship with the famous philosopher Wincenty Lutosławski (1863–1954). Following chronological order, the author presents the circumstances of their meeting in Vilnius in 1925 and the trajectory of their travels and encounters up until Osterwa’s death. With this reconstruction, there emerges a circle of important places, events, and people that influenced both men, e.g. Krakow and the very first productions of Wyspiański’s plays, or Kosów Huculski and Apolinary Tarnawski’s natural therapy facility. The article focuses on the nature of Lutosławski’s and Osterwa’s mutual influence: through their works (writings, acting), direct, personal contact, and the formation of their views, and joint initiatives (particularly important during the occupation, when they both lived in or around Kraków). The text also discusses little-known examples of Lutosławski’s promoting the Reduta theatre abroad. Published as an appendix to the article are Osterwa’s twenty letters and postcards to Lutosławski, dated 1925–1943, from the philosopher collection in the Archive of Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) and the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences (PAU) in Kraków.

Conceived as a symbolic gift to honor Teatr Reduta on the 100th anniversary of its inception and dedicated to the memory of recently passed theatre historian, Zbigniew Osinski, this extensive volume does more than commemorate and celebrate. It advances the studies of one of the most original and deeply influential undertakings in Polish theatre, which, despite securing its emblematic place in histry, deserves a closer analysis from the contemporary perspective, and further dissemination among scholars and practitioners. Reading the book from across the Atlantic Ocean, I will add, that this need for continued rethinking of theatre in dialogue with Osterwa and Limanowski in current Polish cultural and political context seems to be as important as challenging. On the one hand, religious and spiritual underpinnings of Reduta may be particularly susceptive to “committed” interpretations, to use Adorno’s term. On the other hand, memories bring the threat of nostalgia and sentimentalism which help to mythologize rather than analyze unique phenomena. Has Reducie na stulecie managed to stay free from these historiographic traps? What value do these history lessons bring to us today?

The article discusses Juliusz Osterwa’s activity between 1944 and 1947. The author describes Osterwa’s social and artistic stance towards the new reality and his role in rebuilding Polish theatre after the war. It also addresses his complicated relations with the communist authorities; it is argued that they escape any clear-cut categorisation or evaluation. The article focuses mainly on Osterwa’s stage productions from this period: Stefan Żeromski’s Uciekła mi przepióreczka [My Quail Has Fled] (1945) in Kraków, Juliusz Słowacki's Fantazy in Łódź (1945), Słowacki’s Lilla Weneda (1946) and Kazimierz Korcelli’s Papuga [Parrot] (1946) in Warsaw, and finally Fantazy in Kraków (1946), Osterwa’s last stage performance. Based on the critical reception of these productions in the Polish press, the author reconstructs the picture of the hopes and tensions accompanying the post-war activity of the outstanding actor, director and educator in his final years. Osterwa’s plans that remained unrealised due to his terminal illness are also mentioned.

The article presents the history and principles of theatre education at Reduta in its successive forms: from Koło Adeptów [The Apprentice Circle], established in 1921, through the Reduta Institute, to Okop [The Trench], which was the last pre-war incarnation of the school. Based on documents and memoirs, the article discusses Reduta’s comprehensive and holistic model of education, in which regular theoretical classes were accompanied by practical and physical exercises. A crucial part of the education process was student participation in the theatre’s daily operations: rehearsals, preparation of stage productions, and tours. The aim of the school was to offer future artists comprehensive preparation for various theatre functions, as well as to produce ideologically engaged social activists, who consider serving the society through art as their primary task and mission. A comparison between Reduta’s schools and other educational initiatives confirms that in terms of scope, curriculum, work methods, practices, as well as atmosphere, the former were indeed pioneering and stood out from traditional pre-war drama teaching. Published as an appendix to the article is its source material: Juliusz Osterwa, Okop, edited and with an introduction by the author of the article.

The article concerns the years 1919 and 1920, the time of Poland’s newly regained independence and the Polish-Bolshevik war. Due to censorship, this period used to be mentioned only briefly in literature on Juliusz Osterwa and the Reduta theatre even though the director and his ensemble were involved in this war. The author attempts to reconstruct the socio-political conditions in which the founder of Reduta opened his theatre in 1919. She focuses on how Poland’s being at war with all its neighbours had an influence on the discussions about the tasks of the theatre. She also describes Osterwa’s intellectual engagements with Stefan Żeromski and Wincenty Lutosławski, who at the time were close to the philosophy of Roman Dmowski, the ideologist of National Democracy. Based on these facts, she argues that between 1919 and 1920 Osterwa’s thinking about national theatre and the duties of the “modern Pole” was akin to ND ideals, and that in the first months of Reduta’s activity, right-wing circles saw it as a chance for the renewal of Polish theatre.

The electronic publication Czy tylko Reduta? Wspólnota – zespół – spółdzielnia twórcza – kolektyw [Only Reduta? Community – Ensemble – Creative Cooperative – Collective] brings together selected papers from a conference organised as part of the 4th Congress of the Polish Society for Theatre Research in Spała (20–22 Sept. 2019). The article is not so much a review of the edited volume as a record of the author’s reflections inspired by the reading of particular essays. The book constitutes a polyphonic attempt at describing the phenomenon of the theatre collective. Fundamental as it is for theatre life, it has only recently drawn the attention of researchers. In this publication, the phenomenon of Reduta is a starting point for much broader research and analysis that address both general principles of the functioning of theatre ensembles and particular cases of Polish and foreign theatres. The author of the article comments on the analyses contained in the volume, describing various mythologisations of collectivity.

During the Second World War, which he saw as a time of cleansing and penance, Juliusz Osterwa planned to establish two acting fraternities: Genezja (Genesia) and Dal (Distance). Dal was envisaged as a secular brotherhood, Genezja as a religious one, specifically Catholic. In his wartime diaries and notebooks, Osterwa elaborated plans for how these associations should operate, envisaging them as a vehicle for a complete transformation of theatre. The article presents the practical solutions Osterwa had in mind for Genezja. Based on unpublished manuscripts from 1941–1944 – a diary, a prayer book for Genezja, and several notebooks analysing the structure of the holy mass – the author argues that Genezja was to be the culmination of Osterwa’s path towards theatre understood as a religious mystery, and practical exercises based on liturgical texts and prayers were to serve as a means of transporting theatre to the spiritual level. The documents also feature concrete solutions concerning stage and workshop space: Genezja’s “temple” was to be the Church of Holy Cross in Kraków, and the site of the laboratory work was to be the “Genezjanum” at the Pieskowa Skała castle, north of the city. However, after the war, with the change of the political system, the fraternities were ultimately not established, and Osterwa continued his work in repertory theatres.

The author distinguishes three phases in Osterwa’s artistic development: the production of Uciekła mi przepióreczka (My Little Quail Has Run Away) by Stefan Żeromski where the individuality of the creator and his creative idea coupled with the idea presented in the play, the activity of the touring Reduta (1924–1939), and the wartime conceptions of “Social Theatre.” What Osterwa found so compelling in Żeromski’s work was the idea of regionalism and work at grass roots, and the character of Docent Przełęcki, played by the actor for years, became Osterwa’s spiritual patron. Osterwa treated tours with the Reduta, initiated in 1924, as a social mission. The aim was to promote and popularise Polish dramaturgy, to revive the intellectual life of the provinces, to educate and provide high-quality artistic entertainment for communities that did not have any local theatre. Osterwa founded an exemplary touring theatre, which had no precedent in the history of the Polish stage as far as its proportions, ambitions and the regularity of touring were concerned. Statistics cited in the article make one realise the sheer magnitude of the enterprise that stands out in the history of interwar-period theatre in Poland. During the Second World War, Osterwa worked on the conception of Social Theatre, a set ideas on how to organise provincial spectacles in a way that would enable Osterwa to establish a modern theatre for mass audiences. The project has never been realised, but it can be reconstructed based on Osterwa’s surviving notebooks and wartime diaries.

This paper is dedicated to the theatrical novel by Tadeusz Kudliński 'Świętokradca' (1947), in which a fictional dialogue between the author of the novel and the performance concept of Shakespeare’s 'Hamlet' by Juliusz Osterwa is being held. Analysis of the novel, in which a metatextual frame is included as well, is confronted with earlier considerations of Wanda Świątkowska, who had conducted a close analysis of Juliusz Osterwa’s 'Hamlet', considering his personal and professional relationship with Tadeusz Kudliński, too. The novel 'Świętokradca' released in the year of Osterwa’s death, not only provides another interpretation of Hamlet, but also makes an attempt to combine both Kudliński’s and Osterwa’s concepts.

A particular text often circulates in a number of translations. Sophocles’ Antigone is one of the most often translated Greek tragedies into Polish. From the beginning, its translations have been influenced by Polish history, politics and social conditions. The partitions of Poland in the 19th century, the World War II or the Martial Law in Poland in 1981 had their impact on Polish translations, both literary and theatrical, of Antigone. Every succeeding translation enters into a dialogue with the previous ones, often addressing other literary works. Thus, translation never ends, but consists of different levels made by the succeeding interpretations or re-readings of the original In this paper I would like to discuss four chosen translations of Antigone written by Morawski at the end of the 19th century, Morstin in 1938, Osterwa in 1939/1940, and one stage adaptation by Wajda from 1984. All of them give us a certain, specifically Polish image not only of Sophocles’ tragedy, but most of all of its leading character, Antigone.

Artykuł przedstawia historię i założenia edukacji teatralnej w Reducie na różnych etapach funkcjonowania zespołu - od powołanego w 1921 Koła Adeptów, przez Instytut Reduty po Okop, który był ostatnim przedwojennym wcieleniem uczelni. Na podstawie dokumentów oraz wspomnień ukazano wszechstronny i holistyczny model kształcenia, w którym regularnym zajęciom teoretycznym towarzyszyły ćwiczenia praktyczne oraz fizyczne. Zasadniczą część edukacji w Reducie stanowiła praktyka realizowana poprzez udział adeptów w codziennej pracy teatru: w próbach, w przygotowaniu przedstawień, w objazdach Reduty. Celem szkoły było kompleksowe przygotowanie artysty do pełnienia różnych funkcji w teatrze, jak również ideowe wychowanie społecznika, który służbę społeczeństwu poprzez sztukę uważa za swoje podstawowe zadanie i posłannictwo. Porównanie redutowych szkół z innymi inicjatywami pedagogicznymi potwierdza, że pod względem rozmachu, programu nauczania, sposobu pracy, praktyk, jak również tworzonej atmosfery miały one pionierski charakter i wyróżniały się na tle przedwojennego szkolnictwa dramatycznego. Aneksem do artykułu jest materiał źródłowy: Juliusz Osterwa, Okop, ze wstępem i w opracowaniu autorki artykułu.

Theatre “Reduta” ,Vilnius ,Witold Hulewicz ,Grand Theatre in Pohulanka street ,Juliusz Osterwa ,Juliusz Stefan Kłos ,Ferdynand Ruszczyc - Abstract
Based on previously unknown archival materials discovered by the authors in the Lithuanian State Historical Archives in Vilnius, the author of the article is reconstructing the beginnings of the Polish theatre company “Reduta” in Vilnius and the discovery of new documents sheds new light on this story. The author attempts to reconstruct the economic and social conditions in which “Reduta” started its operation in Vilnius. The text concerns the period of 1925–1929. The author puts forward a thesis that the reasons for “Reduta’s” failure in Vilnius were the enormous costs of renovating the Grand Theatre on Pohulanka Street that resulted in unpayable debt in the first months of the theatre’s operation. Just before “Reduta’s” arrival in Vilnius in 1925, Polish theatre critic, poet and publicist Czesław Jankowski (1857–1929) warned its director, a renowned Polish actor and theatre theoretician Juliusz Osterwa (1885–1947), that the main reason for the theatre’s failure in Vilnius is the lack of a regular theatre audience and that the higher prices in Vilnius also had to be taken into account. “Reduta” was theatre of a high standard that was out of the reach of the average inhabitant of Vilnius. The reasons for “Reduta’s” failure were, as it was pointed out by the local press, the concept of the theatre, which was too subtle for average tastes, and the lack of new productions. The “Reduta” collective hardly managed to survive in Vilnius up to 1929. Vilnius undoubtedly shaped Osterwa as an actor and human being in his youth and provided essential components for his concept of theatre. On the other hand, the experiences related to “Reduta’s” stay in the city turned out to be bitter for Osterwa. The Vilnius period documents found by the author of this article confirm the need, as postulated by Polish theatre historian Zbigniew Osiński (1939–2018), to question and rewrite “Reduta’s” history in Vilnius, to strip it from the sentimental and idealising envelope that is demonstrated mainly in the recollections of the people associated with “Reduta”. It is a story to be told anew and again.

Punktem wyjścia do rozważań na temat teatru wielozmysłowego jest koncepcja architektury zmysłów Juhaniego Pallasmy. Zarówno architektura, jak i teatr zostały historycznie zdominowane przez zmysł wzroku, a przywrócenie percepcji multisensorycznej oraz projekty jej uruchomienia w obu tych dziedzinach zajmują praktyków i teoretyków przynajmniej od początku XX wieku. Wprowadzenie do artykułu stanowi krótki historyczny zarys okulocentrycznego modelu odbioru sztuki. Następnie autorka prezentuje wybrane przykłady pobudzania zmysłów odbiorców w teatrze polskim XX i XXI wieku. Jako przykład historyczny służy projekt Juliusza Osterwy, zapisany w latach 20. XX wieku w Raptularzu kijowskim (nietraktowany dotąd poważnie ani przez samego twórcę, ani przez jego komentatorów). W podsumowaniu autorka wskazuje, że potraktowanie serio propozycji uruchomienia najbardziej zaniedbanych w teatrze zmysłów - dotyku, smaku i węchu - może umożliwić zadanie ważnych pytań: o status i ciało "widza", o charakter percepcji i uwzględnianie zmysłów tak w strategiach twórczych, jak i odbiorczych oraz krytycznych. Tekst zawiera Aneks w postaci wybranych fragmentów Raptularza kijowskiego Osterwy. The starting point for considering multisensory theatre is Juhani Pallasmaa’s concept of the architecture of the senses. Both architecture and theatre have historically been dominated by the sense of sight, and the re-establishment of multisensory perception and projects for its activation in both fields have occupied practitioners and theorists at least since the beginning of the 20th century. The introduction to the article provides a brief historical overview of this oculocentric model of art perception. The author then presents selected examples of stimulating the audience’s senses in 20th - and 21st -century Polish theatre. Juliusz Osterwa’s project, in Raptularz kijowski [Kiev scrapbook], which was written in the 1920s (and has so far not been taken seriously either by the author himself or by his commentators), serves as a historical example. In the conclusion, the author emphasises that taking a serious approach to the proposal to activate the most neglected senses in theatre - touch, taste and smell - can enable us to ask important questions: about the status and body of the ‘spectator’, about the nature of perception and of taking the senses into account in creative, reception and critical strategies. The text includes an Appendix in the form of selected excerpts from Osterwa’s Kiev scrapbook.

Antigone ,Sophocles ,Juliusz Osterwa ,Translating and interpreting ,P306-310 - Abstract
Christian Antigone Sophocles’ Antigone is one of the most famous ancient tragedy in Polish culture and it is also most often translated one into Polish. In 1939/1940 Juliusz Osterwa, famous actor, director and leader of the Reduta theatre, translated Sophocles’ Antigone into Polish. The outbreak of the II World War, that moved Osterwa very deeply, and his ideas of the Christian roots of European culture as well as the ideas of the crisis of spirituality in modern culture, that crystallized at that time, caused that he filled his translation of Greek tragedy, on its every possible level, with as many elements connected with Christian religion as possible. It makes Osterwa’s Antigone one of the units in the long translation chain, in which Greek Antigone becomes Polish Antigone. But most of all it makes Osterwa’s Antigone very significant and characteristic witness of its own time.

Tom zawiera cztery dzienniki Juliusza Osterwy z lat 1938-1939: Podróż do Ceuty; Objazd z "Przepióreczką"; Wyprawa z "Powrotem Przełęckiego"; Przygotowania [Redutowe]. Osterwa prezentuje się tu jako turysta zwiedzający obce kraje i chłonący wrażenia; "aktor w podróży" - członek i reżyser Zespołu Objazdowego - oraz organizator i menadżer. Notowane na bieżąco relacje z tras są bezcennym materiałem uzupełniającym wiedzę na temat legendarnych objazdów Reduty i świadectwem codzienności przedwojennej Polski - autor wiele miejsca i uwagi poświęca zwiedzanym miastom, warunkom, w jakich Reduta grała, reakcjom publiczności, frekwencji na przedstawieniach, sprawom organizacyjnym i planowaniu wypraw. Każdy dziennik został opatrzony osobnym wstępem, przypisami i notą edytorską. Publikacja zawiera bogaty materiał ilustracyjny: archiwalne zdjęcia miast, fotografie z wypraw Reduty, mapy tras. Opublikowane dokumenty pochodzą ze zbiorów Muzeum Teatralnego w Warszawie.

Helena Modrzejewska ,Helena Modjeska ,wdzięk sceniczny ,stage charm ,Juliusz Osterwa - Abstract
Wdzięk należy do najbardziej kłopotliwych określeń w teatrze, a zarazem fundament sztuki aktorskiej i jej skutecznego oddziaływania. Jego pojawienie się nie zależy od płci ani wieku grającego, historia zna przypadki artystów obdarzonych nieodpartym urokiem do osiemdziesiątki, kobiety grające z wdziękiem młodych mężczyzn, artystki przez dekady specjalizujące się w rolach tzw. naiwnych dziewcząt, których powodzenie zależało właśnie od wdzięku. Czar sceniczny ma jednak swoją specyfikę polegającą na tym, że choć bywa dany, wrodzony, to równie często "robi się go" i używa z premedytacją, w pełni świadomie, co wcale nie umniejsza jego magnetyzmu. Autorka proponuje spojrzenie na trzy poziomy wdzięku teatralnego w XIX i pierwszej połowie XX wieku: kulturowe, techniczne (warsztatowe) i artystyczne; posiłkując się takimi materiałami jak podręczniki aktorskie (A. Trapszo), eseje krytyczne (W. Bogusławski, F. Koneczny) oraz sylwetki i dokonania dwojga sławnych „wybrańców Charyt”: Heleny Modrzejewskiej i Juliusza Osterwy.

The author distinguishes three phases in Osterwa’s artistic development: the production of Uciekła mi przepióreczka ("My Little Quail Has Run Away") by Stefan Żeromski where the individuality of the creator and his creative idea coupled with the idea presented in the play, the activity of the touring Reduta (1924-1939), and the wartime conceptions of "Social Theatre." What Osterwa found so compelling in Żeromski’s work was the idea of regionalism and work at grass roots, and the character of Docent Przełęcki, played by the actor for years, became Osterwa’s spiritual patron. Osterwa treated tours with the Reduta, initiated in 1924, as a social mission. The aim was to promote and popularise Polish dramaturgy, to revive the intellectual life of the provinces, to educate and provide high-quality artistic entertainment for communities that did not have any local theatre. Osterwa founded an exemplary touring theatre, which had no precedent in the history of the Polish stage as far as its proportions, ambitions and the regularity of touring were concerned. Statistics cited in the article make one realise the sheer magnitude of the enterprise that stands out in the history of interwar-period theatre in Poland. During the Second World War, Osterwa worked on the conception of Social Theatre, a set ideas on how to organise provincial spectacles in a way that would enable Osterwa to establish a modern theatre for mass audiences. The project has never been realised, but it can be reconstructed based on Osterwa’s surviving notebooks and wartime diaries.

Tematem artykułu są związki zespołu Reduty i Polskiego Radia, albo inaczej mówiąc: eksperymentującej grupy aktorów i nowego rodzaju teatru: Teatru Wyobraźni. Obie artystyczne instytucje zbliżała chronologia rozwoju (i ekspansji na coraz szerszy obszar kraju), kontakty personalne oraz przenikanie się pól działalności, zwłaszcza w podejściu do pracy nad tekstem literackim i aktorstwem wywiedzionym ze słowa. Oficjalnie Studio Radiowe Reduty powstało w końcu 1936 roku, wraz z realizacją antenową Wesela, nadaną 31 października oraz 1 i 2 listopada tego roku. Analiza procesu narodzin tej eksperymentalnej audycji oraz refleksja o innych, rozproszonych pracach Reduty i redutowców na antenie w latach 1925-1939 pozwala odpowiedzieć na pytanie, co zespół Osterwy i Limanowskiego wniósł do rozgłośni, i co rozgłośnia dała Reducie. This article looks at the connections between the Reduta company and Polish Radio; in other words between an experimenting group of actors and a new kind of theatre: the Theatre of Imagination. What brought both artistic institutions together was the similar chronology of development (as well as expansion across the country), personal contacts and overlapping fields of activity, espacially as far as a similar approach to the literary text and acting stemming from the word are concerned. Officially, the Radio Reduta Studio was established at the end of 1936 with the broadcast of "The Wedding" on 31 October, 1 and 2 November. The analysis of the birth process of this experimental broadcast and the consideration of other works of the Reduta and its members on air between 1925 an 1939 leads to conclusions about what Osterwa and Limanowski's company gave to the broadcast station, and vice versa.

While reflecting on the possible meanings and the practical prospects of the "Living Word" which has become a mythical concept in the contemporary Polish theater, I propose a closer look at the typically Polish tradition that has arisen around it. I refer to the ideas put forward by Adam Mickiewicz, Cyprian Norwid and Juliusz Osterwa, as I attempt to establish what in fact the "Living Word" is, and to outline the potential of the program which aims to make it the focus of stage practice, as well as the ways of implementing this program.

A particular text often circulates in a number of translations. Sophocles’ Antigone is one of the most often translated Greek tragedies into Polish. From the beginning, its translations have been influenced by Polish history, politics and social conditions. The partitions of Poland in the 19th century, the World War II or the Martial Law in Poland in 1981 had their impact on Polish translations, both literary and theatrical, of Antigone . Every succeeding translation enters into a dialogue with the previous ones, often addressing other literary works. Thus, translation never ends, but consists of different levels made by the succeeding interpretations or re-readings of the original In this paper I would like to discuss four chosen translations of Antigone written by Morawski at the end of the 19th century, Morstin in 1938, Osterwa in 1939/1940, and one stage adaptation by Wajda from 1984. All of them give us a certain, specifically Polish image not only of Sophocles’ tragedy, but most of all of its leading character, Antigone. Przekłady często istnieją w serii tłumaczeń. Antygona Sofoklesa jest zaś jedną z najczęściej tłumaczonych na język polski tragedii greckich, taką w dodatku, która od samego początku została włączona w aktualną sytuację historyczno-polityczną. Te aktualne realia, jak atmosfera zaborów, II wojny światowej czy stanu wojennego, wyciskają swoje piętno na poszczególnych przekładach, literackich czy scenicznych. Każdy kolejny dyskutuje z poprzedzającymi, niejednokrotnie włączając do tej dyskusji inne dzieła literackie. Przekład nigdy nie jest bowiem ostateczny, lecz składa się z nakładających się na siebie kolejnych odczytań oryginału. W artykule przyglądam się wybranym przekładom Antygony: K. Morawskiego z końca XIX w.; L. H. Morstina z 1938 r.; opracowaniu J. Osterwy z przełomu 1939 i 1940 r. oraz inscenizacji A. Wajdy z 1984 r. Razem pokazują, jaki jest dominujący obraz tragedii Sofoklesa, a zwłaszcza jego tytułowej bohaterki, w kulturze polskiej.

Autor sytuuje idee teatru i praktyki twórcze Mickiewicza, Słowackiego, Wyspiańskiego, Osterwy i Limanowskiego oraz Grotowskiego we wspólnej dziedzinie, którą nazywa "polskim teatrem przemiany". W następujący sposób opisuje wyróżnioną przez siebie tradycję: "Sądzę, że za żywotnością "polskiego teatru przemiany" stoi (…) niezwykle ścisłe połączenie sztuki i religii, sprawiające, że działalność "artystyczna" staje się tu rodzajem praktyki duchowej, a "duchowość" przejawia się przede wszystkim w działaniu i dążeniu do doświadczenia numinotycznego. "Duchowe" i "artystyczne" tworzą dynamiczną równowagę, wzajemnie przekształcając się w taki sposób, że mówienie o religii jest nieporozumieniem, a mówienie tylko o sztuce pomniejszającym zawężeniem". W innym miejscu podkreśla, iż "cechą charakterystyczną dla tej tradycji jest właśnie konsekwentnie zachowywane nastawienie pragmatyczne, niemal empiryczne, przejawiające się w tym, że przestrzenią realizacji poszczególnych projektów jest doświadczenie, a nie wiara, zaś podstawowe narzędzie to czynienie, a nie wyznawanie. Jest to przede wszystkim tradycja performatywna, w tym sensie, że nie przyjmuje ona niczego z góry, ale chce wszystko, łącznie z najwyższymi doznaniami i najpełniejszą transformacją, zdobyć poprzez działania o charakterze metacodziennym, do których często dopuszczani są świadkowie. Ze względu na tę metacodzienność działań i ich otwarty charakter jest to więc zjawisko teatralne".

Autor omawia związki Mieczysława Limanowskiego (1876-1948) z teatrem Reduta, przedstawia wpływ tej niezwykłej postaci na metody pracy i ideologię zespołu zaliczanego dziś do najważniejszych laboratoriów teatralnych XX wieku. Istotnym kontekstem rozważań są związki Limanowskiego z Juliuszem Osterwą, których następstwem były odbiegające od współczesnej praktyki scenicznej metody pracy nad rolą i spektaklem.

Artykuł ukazuje sposób funkcjonowania twórcy Reduty, Juliusza Osterwy, w przestrzeni społeczno-politycznej. Punkt ciężkości przeniesiono z aktywności teatralnej na metody działania w życiu publicznym i na relacje z ludźmi decydującymi o możliwościach realizacji planowanych przedsięwzięć artystycznych. Zwrócono uwagę na sieć powiązań wolnomularskich, mających w dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym znaczny wpływ na rzeczywistość, nie tylko społeczną czy polityczną, ale także artystyczną. Osterwa, zainteresowany ezoteryką, antropozofią i romantycznym spirytualizmem, członek pierwszej założonej w niepodległej Polsce loży masońskiej, miał w środowisku wolnomularskim rozległe kontakty i wykorzystywał je do realizacji planów teatralnych. Przedmiotem refleksji jest też jego działalność jako artysty-społecznika i artysty-obywatela, co niejednokrotnie wynikało z wolnomularskich ideałów. Powiązanie wybranych epizodów z biografii Osterwy z historycznymi i instytucjonalnymi uwarunkowaniami oraz z inspiracjami religijno-ezoterycznymi umożliwiło ukazanie różnych aspektów osobowości artysty i jego skomplikowanych relacji z władzami państwowymi w dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym i w pierwszych latach powojennych.
