Summary/Abstract: Commenting on Mickiewicz. Forefathers’ Eve. Performance, Wodziński speaks of his approach to Adam Mickiewicz’s play, which he calls a project that mixes art, politics and identity. He notes that Mickiewicz tried to inscribe a peripheral story in the center, and to build a ritual of power based on resentment. Bringing in his earlier productions: Krasiński. The Un-divine Comedy. A Theatrical Installation and Słowacki. 5 Plays. A Historical Reconstruction, he also speaks of the project of a community theater, where Romantic texts undergo revision. Wodziński calls his theater work an attempt to read Polish culture through the lens of post-colonialism.
