Summary/Abstract: Patryk Czaplicki reviews A Hymn to Love, a play by Marta Górnicka, staged at the Polski Theater in Poznań (premiere: 21.01.2017). The critic notes that the choral form of the play in the context of the theme of the Poles’ responsibility for the Holocaust is enormously effective. Górnicka also takes the Holocaust as a point of departure for addressing the upsurge in European nationalist movements and the migrant crisis. Czaplicki writes of the references to the Polish national discourse in the libretto, some of which are deeply rooted in soldiers’ songs.
