The First Theater Reform, initiated by giants such as Andr Antoine, Otto Brahm and Stanisław Wyspiański, created masterpieces of theatrical art. World War II brutally interrupted this process, and many artists fell victim to repression. Only after the war did the new avant-garde begin to regain its voice, and the theater of the absurd became an expression of intellectual opposition to the atrocities of the war. The Second Theater Reform, although niche, had a huge impact on theatrical life in many countries, becoming a challenge to totalitarian regimes and a manifestation of freedom.

This book refers to the Great Reform, which raised the theater from the level of boulevard entertainment to the rank of art. The Second Reform wanted to treat the theater as a great and mysterious art, creating captivating spectacles and discovering new energies. It is a story of passion, dedication and the constant search for new forms of expression. It is the story of a theater that is not afraid of challenges and that always remains true to its ideals.
