Summary/Abstract: Rafał Kołsut reviews the „political theatre series”, a cooperation between the Imka Theatre in Warsaw and the Łaźnia Nowa Theatre in Cracow. - Klątwa. Odcinki czasu beznadziei (The Curse – Episodes from a Time of Hopelessness). Paweł Demirski (author of the text) and Monika Strzępka (director) have created three out of the planned four episodes: Don't mess with Jesus, Religion class and Sabat dobrego domu (Coven of a respectable home). According to the reviewer, all the valuable fragments of the project could fit into one performance. Kołsut claims that the idea of a theatre series proved to be a failure due to an excess of badly developed themes. Despite numerous good roles, the image of a postapocalyptic world in which the boundaries between good and evil become blurred, and people attempt to restore order by returning to the past, reaches only the level of a glitzy comedy show.
