The article addresses the question of the significance of the 1927 premiere of Persa Zwierżontkowska at the Municipal Theatre in Łódź for Witkacy’s work, a play whose text has been lost. Based on reviews of the premiere and an interview with the play’s author, we can reconstruct the audience’s reaction to the avant-garde performance. Marginal notes in Pigułka, Witkacy’s long-term critical text, reveal the author’s attitude toward art criticism in Łódź. Reconstructing the reception of Persa allows us to interpret the expressive passage in Insatiability describing a premiere at Kwintofron Wieczorowicz’s theatre as a form of polemic with critics and as a hint regarding the disappearance of the play’s original manuscript.
