Summary/Abstract: This text, paired with Joanna Braun’s, makes for an interesting dialogue on the Warsaw opera Matsukaze with music by Tosho Hosokawa and choreography by Sasha Waltz, based on a play by Zeami (premiere: 31 May 2011, Wielki Theater – National Opera in Warsaw). Grabuś particularly turns her attention to the diverse cultural backgrounds of the performance’s creators, which creatively complement one another, having a positive effect on the final form of the opera, and also on the fascinating relationships between the sound, music, and movements of the dancers.
