Abstract: After a conversation with Ludwik Flaszen, Ferdinando Taviani and Eugenio Barba write to each other. They speak of “ancestors”, of forefathers and of the Polish text Dziady. They discuss the ‘Dziady paradigm’ in the performances of Odin Teatret. They speak of Grotowski’s last period. Barba writes: “Grotowski used to say that theatre is the place where there is no need to lie. But he left the theatre. He was perspicacious and an expert in scrutinising the souls of wo/men, fully aware that every individual is unique. But he left official heirs, charging them with a ponderous gift. What, who did he think of in his last moments of lucidity?”.
