Jerzy Grotowski (1933-99) was a Polish stage director,
theatrical theorist, and founder and director of the small but
influential Polish Laboratory Theatre. Most of Grotowski's
theater-making took place in this and similar small theaters and
studio spaces, and as a result one of his central fascinations was
the actor's work within the context of an empty room. The essays in
"Grotowski's Empty Room" analyze how Grotowski's explorations in
the theater continue to challenge dramatists and directors.
The contributors to this volume reflect with special insight on
how theater scholars and practitioners can further Grotowski's work
and how his legacy will be developed in the theater. Among the
contributors are Leszek Kolankiewicz and Zbigniew Osinski, his
close collaborators; Marco de Marinis, Franco Ruffini, and Fernando
Taviani, scholars who have followed Grotowski's works from the 14
years he spent in Italy; and Swedish filmmaker and writer Marianne
Ahrne and director Eugenio Barba, who reveal the strong impression
Grotowski left on all those who met him and express the challenge
of those who must now work in the empty rooms he has left
behind.
