Ludwik Flaszen - OPeRe

About
Ludwik Flaszen was a co-founder and co-producer of Grotowski’s Teatr Laboratorium throughout its existence (1959-1984), and its director during the early 1980s. A critic, writer, and long-time partner of Grotowski in creative dialogue, Flaszen is also a practitioner who has led paratheatrical sessions and acting workshops in many countries. Since 1984, following the theatre's dissolution, Flaszen has lived in Paris. His collected writings were published in English as Ludwik Flaszen, Grotowski & Company, trans. by Andrzej Wojtasik with Paul Allain, ed. by Paul Allain with Monika Blige (Abingdon and New York: Routledge Icarus, 2013).
