Abstract
According to Jacek Kopciński, the dramatic discourse itself, released from the regime of textual structure and traditional arrangement, has become the protagonist of new Polish dramaturgy. The author argues that the dramatic collages, assemblies and hybrids, recorded in the form of linguistic streaming, reflect the way in which people communicate in a mediated reality. The chief characteristic of this process is multi-channel transmission, which the author associated with new technologies of sound recording and its broadcasting and reception in a radio play (5.1 surround sound system). A comparison of the poetics of contemporary drama with works written especially for the radio (by Tomasz Man or Krzysztof Czeczot) reveals some surprising similarities; most importantly, the deep subjectivisation of the represented world of the play. When analysing works by Mariusz Bieliński (and mentioning the works of Zyta Rudzka, Artur Pałyga, Weronika Murek and Mateusz Pakuła), the author puts forward a thesis about the radio genotype of the new Polish drama, which is rarely staged, but is often performed in the Polish Radio Theatre.
