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.
