Goście wieczerzy pańskiej
Guests at the Lord’s Supper

Summary/Abstract: A review of Brand. City. The Chosen Ones based on a drama by Henryk Ibsen, directed by Michał Borczuch at the Stary Theater in Krakow (premiere: 24 September 2011). In his very precise description and analysis of the various scenes and plots in the play, Wasztyl states: “The effects Borczuch uses to build his City do not move our emotions. They work on a different basis […]. The images are produced very precisely and linger in the memory. The staging respects the viewer’s intelligence. A reluctance to emote does not mean, however, that the ensemble shrinks from a brave sort of discussion.” For, in the author’s opinion: “The sight of the faithful fleeing from the phantom of a beautiful church frightens Polish Catholics.”
