BIOGRAPHY

"A
brilliant
cross-disciplinary
comparative analysis
that joins a new path in
theatre studies,
revitalizing the artistic
heritage of two great twentieth-century
masters: Tadeusz Kantor
and Jerzy Grotowski."
- Antonio
Attisani, Department of
Humanities, University
of Turin, Italy
"This
is a lucidly and even
beautifully written book.
[...] this
will be the book
on the subject the author
set out to
explore and it’s
very rare that one can say
that about any book!"
- Anne
Rothe, Department of
Classical and Modern
Languages, Literatures,
and Cultures, Wayne
State University

"I place Boguslaw
Schaeffer's genius firmly
at the centre of the
European cultural heritage
which expressed
avant-gardism during my
life-time."
