Synopsis: This original study re-examines Grotowski’s work through a fresh perspective rooted in the ancient Eastern philosophy of Daoism.Moving beyond the limitations of existing scholarship, the author reveals how Daoist principles shed new light on Grotowski’s innovations. By contextualising Daoism within the scientific and philosophical upheavals of early twentieth-century Europe, particularly quantum physics and deconstructionism, this book unearths unexpected affinities between Grotowski’s praxis and Daoist thought.Essential reading for theatre scholars, practitioners, and students seeking new insights into Grotowski’s legacy, this work also offers valuable resources for researchers and artists exploring the intersections of intercultural performance and philosophy.
