Objects and costumes must be works of art, not decoration which is discarded once it has been used. This is what makes the Cricot 2 Theatre a unique and purely artistic phenomenon – Tadeusz Kantor

The exhibition evokes questions about the rank and status of objects. Goplana with Elves were not meant to be a decoration, but to “embody a stage character”. For Kantor, the object as a “form – a spatial sculpture with a metaphorical function” became an element of ambient art; arranging a space which is meant to […]
