In 1977, the Gardzienice Theatre Association, an experimental
theatre company was founded in a tiny Polish village. By 1992 The
Observer was hailing "Brilliant Gardzienice...and orgy of joy,
anguish, prayer and lamentation performed in candlelight with
hurtling energy and at breakneck speed...Physically reckless,
thrillingly well sung...On no account to be missed. " Today the
Gardzienice Theatre Association is hailed as Poland's leading
theatre group, training Royal Shakespeare Company actors and
touring the world. Paul Allain describes and analyses their sung
performances, strenuous physical and vocal training, and
anthropological fieldwork amongst marginalized European minorities.
This is one of the first detailed attempts to assess developments
in Polish experimental theatres since 1989. The author questions
whether those artists can maintain their vision in the face of
Poland's economic difficulties and increased commercialization of
the arts.
