Ashes and Diamonds
After watching the film "Ashes and Diamonds" for several times at Oslo in 1960, theatre director Eugenio Barba decided to go to Poland for his further studies in directing. He enrolled his name at Warsaw University but could not complete his studies and did apprenticeship with Jerzy Grotowski. Barba had written a book on his experiences in Poland under the name "Land of Ashes and Diamonds" (1999).
