O nich//o sobie samych
About Them//About Themselves

Summary/Abstract: The author describes the concept behind the RE//MIX series realized by the komuna//warszawa theatre. This project involves contemporary artists staging performances in which they reinterpret the oeuvre or particular works of theatre and dance artists, which are incorporated into the framework of a “canon” created (and continuously expanded) to meet the needs of the series. Evoking Lawrence Lessig’s viewpoint, Łuksza argues that the RE//MIXES are works that complement the original, contributing to the assumption of postdramatic theatre. Upon examining the performances staged in this series, the author claims that the project’s premise is most fully realized by the performance of Ramona Nagabczyńska, who settles her accounts with icon of postmodern dance – Trisha Brown.
