Czuwanie w noktoramie
Vigil in a noctorama

Summary/Abstract: Katarzyna Tórz reviews From the Dark by the British group Forced Entertainment (premiere: 16 Jul 2016 at the Foreign Affairs Festival in Berlin). The eight-hour-long performance, beginning at nightfall, explores the night as a time in which it is normal for animal to function, but which is also considered as mysterious and dangerous for people. The author describes the way in which the space of the Haus der Berliner Festspiele was used and the design of the audiences perception effected by placing the viewers in different spots. Tórz points out that in From the Dark the creators use the simple means usually appearing in their work, which allows them to play with the habits and perception of the viewers.
