"Przed Smiercia" (Before Death) is a play written by the Polish artist, playwright, and philosopher Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, commonly known as Witkacy. Witkiewicz, a prominent figure in the early 20th-century avant-garde movement, is celebrated for his contributions to literature, theater, and visual arts. His works often explore themes of existentialism, the absurd, and the disintegration of societal norms, reflecting his deep engagement with the philosophical and cultural upheavals of his time.

"Przed Smiercia" is one of Witkacy's lesser-known plays, yet it encapsulates many of the thematic preoccupations and stylistic innovations that characterize his oeuvre. The play delves into the human condition, examining the inevitability of death and the existential angst that accompanies it. Through its complex characters and surreal narrative structure, "Przed Smiercia" challenges conventional notions of reality and identity, inviting audiences to confront the profound uncertainties of existence.

Witkacy's unique approach to theater, which he termed "Pure Form," is evident in "Przed Smiercia." This concept emphasizes the importance of the formal elements of a work of art over its representational content, aiming to evoke a direct, emotional response from the audience. In "Przed Smiercia," this manifests in the play's abstract dialogue, disjointed scenes, and symbolic imagery, which together create a disorienting yet deeply affecting theatrical experience.

Despite its relative obscurity, "Przed Smiercia" is a significant work within Witkacy's body of work, offering insight into his philosophical inquiries and artistic innovations. It remains a compelling example of early 20th-century avant-garde theater, reflecting the broader cultural and intellectual currents of the period. Through its exploration of mortality and existential dread, "Przed Smiercia" continues to resonate with contemporary audiences, underscoring Witkacy's enduring relevance as a playwright and thinker.
