Abstract

The Theatre of Death was the last stage of Tadeusz Kantor’s theatre production, which was marked by the interest in the dead from its beginning. The great milestones of the twentieth century can be traced in all the five performances (from 1975 to 1991). On the stage appear soldiers and their generals, but also the victims of the tragic events of the two World Wars. All this is shown through Kantor’s personal view, who turns his hometown, Wielopole Skrzy?skie, into the allegory of Europe exposed to continuous conflicts.
