One of the most innovative visual artists, stage directors, and theoreticians of the 20th century, Tadeusz Kantor challenged artistic conventions and expanded the boundaries of theater. Using
current debates about representation, memory, and history as his theoretical lens, Kobialka (Theater, University of Minnesota) examines Kantor's theater practice, suggesting it still offers an
answer to reality rather than portraying a utopian alternative. The volume includes new translations of Kantor's work (counterposed with Kobialka's own analysis) and numerous illustrations of
Kantor's work and theater productions. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
