East Asian Theatres, Traditions-Inspirations-European/Polish Contexts, ed. by M. Gawarski, B. Kubiak Ho-Chi, E. Rynarzewska, World Art Studies, 17(2017), Warsaw-Torun 2017
East Asian Theatres: Traditions – Inspirations – European / Polish Contexts conference was organized on October 20-22, 2015, by the Polish Institute of Art Studies at the MANGGHA Museum of Japanese Art and Technology in Krakow.
This publication, in accordance with the title and programme of the conference, has been divided into three parts: Traditions, Inspirations and European / Polish Contexts. The first includes studies of selected stage genres, belonging to the East Asian theatre traditions, such as the Chinese xiqu theatre and shadow theatre, the Korean p’ansori theatre, the Japanese nō theatre, kabuki and bunraku. The second discusses contemporary forms of East Asian theatres, created under the influence of artistic concepts of Western theatre, which began at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The last part is devoted to artistic relationships between the European, including Polish, theatrical traditions and the theatres of East Asia. An important part of this was the issue of the reception of East Asian theatres in Europe and Poland, as well as the reception of Polish contemporary stage art, especially in Japan.
