Private.
Kantor’s Theatrical Costumes
Cricoteka | The Centre for the Documentation of the Art of Tadeusz Kantor
Private is an unorthodox large-format installation putting on display Tadeusz Kantor’s theatrical costumes from the Cricoteka Collection. This context-based show reveals the total creator Kantor was, developing theatrical situations by building up tension and an individual approach to characters, forms, and meanings.
Bogdan Renczyński, the curator and a Cricot 2 actor, defines the eponymous ‘private’ costumes as a theatrical tool closest to the actor’s body, while his involvement with the collection turns into an intimate and emotional story. The curator also intends to create a space for visitors to establish private relationships with the objects.

"Objects and costumes must be works of art, not decoration which is discarded once it has been used. This is what makes the Cricot 2 Theatre a unique and purely artistic phenomenon".
