Description
Kantor: Non/Presence is a unique work in theatre studies by a single author. The book far exceeds the framework set by its eponymous protagonist. Fazan reveals where following Tadeusz Kantor can lead and how radically the discourse of theater studies should be transformed in contact with his vast, heterogeneous oeuvre.
Zbigniew Majchrowski, University of Gdansk
The monumental monograph testifies not only to Fazan exceptional erudition but also her deep personal commitment to the study of Kantor's oeuvre. Reaching far beyond theater studies, Fazan's reference-rich analysis can be appreciated by those involved in art history, photography, stage design, architecture, and memory studies.
