The END OF THE WORLD OF VALUES by Łukasz Maciejewski devoted to the Krystian Lupa's theatre & published by the Lodz Film School, now will be published in Romania translated by Ioana Diaconu-Mureșan.
The book is published under the Romanian title "Sfârșitul lumii valorilor" in the prestigious series "Great Directors of the World" (Romanian: "Mari Regizori ai Lumii"), which for years, has been documenting the most outstanding figures of theatre of the 20th and 21st centuries.
The series, now joined by Lupa and Maciejewski - our lecturer at the Acting Department, includes, among others, Lee Strasberg, Giorgio Strehler, Ivo van Hove, Peter Brook, Thomas Ostermeier, Pippo Delbono, Jerzy Grotowski, Tadeusz Kantor and Vsevolod Meyerhold.
"Delighted by Łukasz Maciejewski's work, we are pleased that the book about Krystian Lupa joins the series dedicated to the greatest personalities of directing. It is not only a tribute to Krystian Lupa's art, but also an opportunity to familiarize Romanian readers with the importance of Polish theatre on the map of world culture,"
THE END OF THE WORLD OF VALUES is a record of years of conversations, interviews, and essays which Łukasz Maciejewski devoted to Krystian Lupa. The texts were previously published primarily in "Notatnik Teatralny," as well as in "Teatr," "Film," and "Tygodnik Powszechny." The volume also includes previously unpublished materials. The book is complemented by analyses of plays directed by Lupa, critics reviews, private correspondence between the director and author, essays on actors—including Piotr Skiba—and an extensive interview with Jan Frycz, a symbol of Lupa's theatre.
In the introduction to the new edition of the volume, Łukasz Maciejewski writes: "I talked to Krystian Lupa about his childhood, his first professional years, his fascination with Swinarski and his polemics with his art, about theatre, cinema, visual art, but also about social life and politics; about Picasso and pop art, Brigitte Bardot and Isabelle Huppert. Our meetings bring back the most important writers for Lupa's theatre: Bernhard, Musil, Broch, Dostoyevsky, Chekhov. We travel through cities (Jastrzębie-Zdrój, Kraków, Łódź, Jelenia Góra, Wrocław, Warsaw, Vienna, Moscow, Paris) and subsequent plays, discussing acting, transgressions in art, and nudity. This book is the result of many years of intensive exchange of thoughts, observations, and doubts.". Ioana Anghel, the book's editor.
The Romanian launching of THE END OF THE WORLD OF VALUES, the work originally published by the Lodz Film School Publishing House in 2017, will take place on 25, October, 2025, during the Bucharest International Theatre Festival (October, 17–26).
