Tadeusz Kantor's Centre for Documentation Cricoteka

This guide to Cricoteka in Kraków begins on the night of December eighth, nineteen ninety, when theatre visionary Tadeusz Kantor died hours before his company was due to rehearse a piece called Today Is My Birthday. It traces his Theatre of Death, the productions that paired actors with life-sized mannequins of their younger selves, and the archive he founded himself on Kanonicza Street, built to stay restless rather than embalmed. Look up as you enter: the gallery above the old power-station roofline seems to float.
