I analyse fragments of three performances that were key to his artistic development: The Return of Odysseus (1944), as well as The Madman and the Nun (1963) and The Dead Class (1975). By juxtaposing different ways of understanding boredom, in a philosophical and literary perspective, with Kantor’s work, I will examine whether and in what sense we can speak of this phenomenon in relation to his theatre. Finally, I will try to show why Bruno Schulz’s ideas may help us to uncover the potential significance of Kantor’s „pulp of reality”.}, doi = {10.4467/2543408XZOP.23.009.19142}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/zoon-politikon/article/miazga-rzeczywistosci-nuda-jako-materia-dziela-sztuki-w-teatrze-tadeusza-kantora} }
