O co się zabijać?
What Are We Killing for?

Summary/Abstract: A review of The Maidan Diaries, directed by Wojtek Klemm (Powszechny Theater in Warsaw, premiere: 24.10.2014). The critic stresses the documentary nature of Natalia Worożbyt's drama, created on the basis of reports from witnesses to the recent struggles in Kiev. This means the play combines various ways of speaking about the Maidan incidents. The typical nature of these voices and the revolutionary image mean, however, that the media perspective dominates. The Maidan Diaries is, in the author's opinion, a fiery political drama which tries to provoke a response, playing on the viewer's sense of empathy; there is no room for expressing doubt, risking diagnoses, or philosophical contemplation. The key question here is: “What comes next for Maidan?”
