Summary/Abstract: The subject of Joanna Targoń’s interview with Monika Niemczyk, an actress in All about My Mother (Łaźnia Nowa Theater in Krakow, premiere: 22.04.2016), is the process by which the play was created and the work strategy of the director and the actresses in the project, which involves the intimate recollections and experiences of Michał Borczuch (the director) and Krzysztof Zarzecki (an actor). Niemczyk speaks of the improvisations based on family photographs and stories that initiated the work, and also of the long period in which the creative process ran without a finished script, which was gradually written by Tomasz Śpiewak. The interview also covers the topic of Almodóvar’s film, which they watched during rehearsals, served as an importance point of departure, and inspired Dorota Nawrot, who designed the set and the costumes.
