I have the impression, I am certain even, that truth in art does not correspond with truth in life.
Matter, which in life is deemed ignoble, of lower quality can discover previously unknown truth in art.
That E m p t i n e s s in life, referring to the Lowest Regions of human activity, is what becomes an element of art.
A work of art developed from the concept of wreckage is particularly fascinating to me.

Tadeusz Kantor, Confusing concepts

 

In Confusing Concepts, an important text which is the starting point and a common denominator for this year’s edition of drama workshops, Tadeusz Kantor makes a significant revision, or correction, by rehabiliatating the concepts of imitation, copying, pretending, mock-up and wreckage.

At the beginning of the workshops we will discuss – in theory and in stage practice – all of the above notions. In particular, our exploration will focus on the concept of pretending, referred to acting and related to the idea of emptiness, as well as the concept of wreckage, referred to an object or a stage machine and related to the idea of memory.

It is possible that by dealing with the language and poetic theory of Tadeusz Kantor’s theatre we will also face the important question: are Kantor’s Lowest Rank materials still the same, or have the ‘most worthless materials’ changed ther image?
