Abstract: Based on the idea of Espagne’s cultural transfer and Greenblatt’s cultural mobility, the article aims to assess the exchange in the theatre between Bertolt Brecht and Konrad Swinarski as well as its contribution to the transformation of both cultures. For Brecht, Swinarski was not only a student in his master’s class and an assistant director but also a cultural mediator, thanks to whom Brecht was able to deepen his knowledge of Polish culture and politics. The article suggests that the cultural transfer did not take place only in the official sphere of assistant directing at the Berliner Ensemble, where Swinarski worked from 1955 to 1957, but was already accomplished in the private unofficial sphere and continued even after Brecht’s death in 1956. |
