Abstract

The article discusses the problem of the actor’s interpretation (resp. working on the role) from the perspective of anthropological semiotics. In this context, an actor’s part is treated as a social construct of the specific referential chain. The exemplification materials are three actor’s interpretations of the figure of Wojnicki from dramatic play Uncle Vanya by Atnon Chekhov (Zamachowski, Hudziak, Gancarczyk) staged between 1993 and 1994 in the following theatres: Teatr Studio in Warsaw (1993), Teatr Stary in Kraków (1993) and Teatr TV (1994).
