Abstract

In this selection from Un teatro apocrifo, Attisani goes beyond previous academic acknowledgments of Grotowski's interest in Gnostic texts, tracing the influence of key materials found in the Nag Hammadi and the significance of Gnostic belief as a secret subcurrent in the 20th-century theatrical avantgarde.
