Taka sobie wycieczka
A Middling Excursion

Summary/Abstract: Katarzyna Niedurny reviews The Lake, directed by Yana Ross (TR Warsaw, premiere: 4.03.2016). The author stresses the passivity and artificiality of the protagonists representing the “middle class” and their ease in dealing with the tension generated by the looming apocalypse. Here, fear of the end is sublimated into small talk between friends relaxing by a lake. Niedurny takes a critical view of the chaotic narrative which multiplies the plots without tying up their loose ends, and deprives the play of crucial contexts by universalizing the reality.
