  Abstract:  Written in partnership with (and as a result of) the exhibition An Impossible Journey: the Art and Theatre of Tadeusz Kantor and the symposium Kantor was here, both held in 2009 at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, University of East Anglia, Norwich, the book represents a “collage of memories, interviews, newly unveiled archival material, as well as new critical approaches to Kantor’s art” (p. 9), gathered by Katharzyna Murawska-Muthesius and Natalia Zarzecka with the purpose of investigating both the traces left by Tadeusz Kantor’s works on British culture and the impact of the latter on Kantor’s artistic journey. “Kantor was here”, in all appearances a simple statement, is in fact the expression of certainty: Kantor’s contact with the British artistic world con¬tributed significantly to his international fame and recognition, but, at the same time, his presence in Great Britain undenia¬bly left its mark on British culture.
