Polish director Tadeusz Kantor, who died in 1990 at the age of 75, is widely recognized as one of the most important theatre artists of this century. Critics have ranked him with such influential directors as Stanislavsky, Meyerhold, Brecht, and Grotowski. Known in the United States primarily for his visually stunning productions, he is also highly regarded throughout Europe for his theoretically adventurous writings. Michal Kobialka, whom Kantor authorized to translate his work, provides us with the first collection of Kantor's essays in English, together with his analysis of the corpus of Kantor's work, both written and staged.

Industry Reviews

"Without a doubt Kobialka's work on Kantor is definitive. He explores every aspect of Kantor's search for a "truer reality" and leads the reader through the dense thicket of Kantor's explorations. Kobialka's prose is lucid, even though his subject is complex and at times almost ethereal. To those who have not seen a Kantor production, no better guide can be found than Kobialka's penetrating and exhaustive study."--"World Literature Today
