Jerzy Grotowski's Journeys to the East

Jerzy Grotowskis Journeys to the East is an unusual collection of facts, quotations, and commentaries documenting the real and metaphorical journeys of the Polish theatre director and teacher of performers into a geographical and cultural dimension which we used to and still call the Orient. Grotowskis contacts and meetings with the East are placed here in the context of his biography. Painstakingly researched by Grotowskis main biographer Zbigniew Osiski, this book is necessary reading for those interested in Grotowskis deep relationship with the East and in the inspiration he drew from its various cultures. The book will appeal to all readers who feel a need to have a glimpse of the East from the perspective of one of the main theatre reformers in the twentieth century.
