Abstract

Authored by the proposer and theorist of liberature, the article discusses the idea of liberature and connects its theory and practice in an innovative manner. Contrary to the Author’s previous elucidations, the focus is not so much on the physical form of the liberary work but on the essential position of the voice in the reading of liberature, which, until recently, was lost among textual elements of such a work. Fajfer underlines the idea of a total, bodily work which is planned in its entirety and whose body is able to “speak” to its readers. This speaking is especially noticeable in the spectacle called The View from a Deep Tower [Widok z głębokiej wieży], directed by Teresa Nowak, which moves towards the “theatricality” of poetry. Fajfer describes this spectacle as a new experience for a poet whose main purpose used to be the visual presentation of a textual form. In this new, aural quality of poetry, the author notices a new dimension of the total literature.
