Abstract

The article aims to reconstruct the scenic devices in a festive school production from the Jesuit college in Świdnica from 1703, based on a unique set of sources discovered in the diocesan archive in Wrocław. The analysis confirms the existing ideas about the scenography of the Jesuit school theatre at the beginning of the 18th century. It adds several details concerning both the work with the stage space and sets and the parallels with the court and noble theatre of the era. Examining the context of the production has enabled the identification of two artists of the order (a carver and a painter) who were probably involved in the stage design of the production.
