Stratagemmi 49 | Ripensare la tradizione: Akropolis di Marta Brys

The contribution analyses the performance Acropolis, directed by Łukasz Twarkowski at the Stary Theater in Krakow on 30 November 2013. The text by Stanisław Wyspiański has been dramaturgically reworked by Anka Herbut, showing itself to be a fully autonomous piece, facilitating the creation of a virtual, highly abstract space on stage, and one governed by its own rules. Marta Bryś looks at the set design and the construction of the play, which allow the drama to lock horns with the competing stage reality. At the same time, she points out another possible way of interpreting the performance, as a dialogue with the drama Akropolis as a reservoir of cultural cliches and the collective imagination.
