Polaków portret własny w kostiumie imigrantów
A Self-portrait of Poles in Immigrant Dress

Summary/Abstract: Katarzyna Fazan reviews "The Supplicants" directed by Paweł Miśkiewicz (Stary Theater in Krakow, premiere: 9.04.2016), pointing out the scattered narration that demands the actors create an amorphous collective. She also covers the problematic nature of representation – the actors can appear as their “private selves,” play the role of immigrants, or the viewers afraid of the immigrants. The reviewer stresses the self-reflexive quality of the performance, which, though it flirts with triviality, is a powerful method of self-examination.
