Issued without a dust jacket. -- The book documents a series of theatre workshops h…eld in 2015 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the influential Polish artist's birth. It captures the essence of these workshops led by the original actors of Kantor's legendary Cricot 2 Theatre. The workshops, and by extension the book, serve as a living archive and a practical exploration of Kantor's theatrical legacy, passed on by those who worked intimately with him. The title itself is an homage to a short theatrical form created by Kantor. The workshops were designed as a creative dialogue, in both theory and practice, for art students and those wishing to develop their acting skills. The publication details the unique approaches of various Cricot 2 actors, including Ludmila Ryba, Andrzej Kowalczyk, Teresa and Andrzej Welminski, Bogdan Renczynski, and Roman Siwulak, as they guide participants through Kantor's artistic universe. The content delves into core concepts of Kantor's work, such as "places of memory," the interplay between reality and art, and the exploration of personal biography as artistic material. Through descriptions of workshop sessions like "Secret Dealings with a Dybbuk and a Suitcase," "Empty places. Spaces by Tadeusz Kantor," and "Primary factors," the book offers insight into the practical application of Kantor's theories and the enduring influence of his avant-garde vision.
