„Nienawidzę ich, ale mnie wzruszają” Teatr Polski we Wrocławiu: Wycinka, reż. Krystian Lupa
“I Hate Them, but They Move Me”

Summary/Abstract: Katarzyna Waligóra reviews The Woodcutters: Holzfällen, directed by Krystian Lupa (Polski Theater in Wrocław, premiere: 23.10.2014). The author describes the constellation of characters brought on stage, creating a little artistic world that is subject to constant disgrace. She points out, however, the fluctuating emotional tension in the performance: after sequences lined with bitter irony come delicate and subtle scenes, giving an ambivalent flavor to the whole. Waligóra interprets the second part of the staging as a political statement on the artistic system, whose major expression is Piotr Skiba's parabasis monolog.
