The book features a wide range of material, including essays on Grotowski's 'theatre of production', 'objective drama' and 'art as vehicle', alongside photographs documenting his work. A historical-critical study by Richard Schechner rounds out the collection, providing valuable insights into Grotowski's life and artistic development. This sourcebook is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding Grotowski's contributions to performance theory and practice.
