General Assembly and Open Session in Warsaw, October 9-11, 2023: A puzzle box without a picture
2023’s roundtable meeting is organized by the Zbigniew Raszewski Theatre Institute in Warsaw. Access is provided both in person as well as via youtube stream.
After an internal roundtable meeting the public is warmly invited to take part in the conference:
A puzzle box without a picture
11th of October 2023, 9:30 am – 1:30 pm
Zbigniew Raszewski Theatre Institute, Jazdów 1, 00-467 Warsaw, Poland
The one-day conference will deal with question of different medial approaches to the documentation and archiving of theatre, such as film, without focussing on the utopian aim to reconstruct a performance – rather, the materials themselves, their potentialities and diversity:
We often like to discuss how to organise performing arts archives, both physical and virtual. But what about the sources collected in those archives? Written and spoken, photographic and phonographic, audiovisual and others? If we are aware that theatre takes place only “here and now”, and that the “there and then” exists only as an afterimage, do we know how to aptly use the preserved documents, which more often than not resemble a jigsaw puzzle box without the corresponding picture? The question we want to ask is not how to faithfully reconstruct a historical performance (this is a utopian concept), but how to resist the temptation of over-interpretation when we try to imagine what is most probable.
