Borys Jaźnicki LAST, mat. prasowe

Theatre creators are often interested in the thought of Carl Jung because it includes the issues of creativity, inner life, the role of dreams, archetypes and symbols explored by artists and the process of collective unconsciousness. In Poland, Jungian psychology was of great interest for, among others, the exceptional theatre director Jerzy Grotowski.

In December, the New Art Association (Stowarzyszenie Sztuka Nowa) started a cooperation with a member of our Association, Jungian analyst Bartosz Samitowski, who led a depth psychology workshop for the team preparing the performance “LAST: Wacław Niżyński – the last dance and the decaying European order” (dir. Dawid Żakowski). The workshops, using Jungian psychology methods, aimed to deepen artists’ contact with the symbolic and creative aspect of the unconscious mind and to introduce new inspiration to the creative process. After the workshops and the premiere of the performance, the decision was made to establish permanent cooperation.

LAST is an international interdisciplinary project, performative and choreographic exhibition implemented by an international group of artists combining various fields of art. Dancers, choreographers, performers, composers and video artists from Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Ecuador will create together a complex and multi-level portrait of the most famous dancer of all time.

The long-awaited Polish version of C. G. Jung’s “Red Book”, translated by Jerzy Prokopiuk and Jerzy Korpanty was premiered on December 6th this year in “Teatr STU” in Kraków. The meeting was attended by representatives of the publishing house “Vis a Vis Etiuda”, book translators and the management of the theatre, as well as a representative of our Association, Mirosław Giza. It was emphasised that the theatre was not accidentally chosen as the premiere place, because Jung’s concept is also very inspiring for this environment. The discussion also discussed the use of Jung’s method for psychotherapeutic treatment and the possibilities offered by the study and exploration of this unique book. In recognition of our presence at this meeting, our Association received this book with the personal dedication of its co-translator Jerzy Korpanty.
