Gabriela Zapolska na scenie białostockiego teatru

Abstract

In his article, Michał Siedlecki presents stage adaptations of Gabriela Zapolska’s works in the Białystok theatre. The researcher points out that in total, over sixty years, from 1940 to the present day, the work of the author, Cathy the Caryatid (1888), was presented sixteen times in Białystok, with favourable reviews in the local press. The number can be regarded as both impressive and insufficient, but is quite a good omen, a hope for the future that her rich literary output will survive in the consciousness of subsequent generations of Białystok residents. Do they recognize the artist as the author of a separate and specific emancipatory project? Time will tell. One thing remains for sure. It is impossible to depreciate her colourful and original work. The artist’s works will stay with us forever.
