Summary/Abstract: Amateurs directed by Ewelina Marcinak at the Wybrzeże Theater in Gdańsk (premiere: 24 XI 2012) culls the feminist side of Elfriede Jelinek’s text. Six protagonists are enmeshed in pathological bonds where no communication is possible. The physicality exposed through their costumes “reveals” the truth of the characters’ feelings. The director uses the clothing to problematize the issues of omnipresent violence and manipulation, in male/female relationships, in families, and between the generations.
