Foniczna składnia obrazu. O prapremierze „Warszawianki”

This article offers a new reading of the première of Stanisław Wyspiański’s Warszawianka, which took place on 26 November 1898, and examines the ocular-centric processes of memory related to the performance. Focusing on two central motifs from the play and its staging – the song La Varsovienne and the image of the Empire-style salon – the author proposes their integration within the concept of sound-based scenography. The discussion draws on a detailed analysis of the play and contemporary reviews, while also engaging with the scholarly history of Warszawianka’s reception and current research into theatre and sound.
