Summary/Abstract: Katarzyna Niedurny analyses the performance Lordy. Lord Kantor/Lord Milord/Lord Herling (Lords. Lord Kantor/Lord Milord/Lord Herling, prem.: 7 Mar 2015), directed by Eva Rysova and Mateusz Pakuła at the Stefan Żeromski Theatre in Kielce. As their point of departure, they used memoirs concerning Tadeusz Kantor, Miron Białoszewski and Gustaw Herling-Grudziński - „artists dealing with the problem of memory”. The performance is divided into three parts – each of them devoted to a different artist, and each using a different poetics. The author notices the advantages of Rysova and Pakuła's project, but she also thinks that the show relies too much on spectacular effects and becomes chaotic.
