In the Centre

Summary/Abstract: The story of an encounter with the phenomenon of the “Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre” Centre. The author of the essay indicates – upon the examples of concrete acts and situations – such symptoms and aspects of the work involving memory, and conducted by the Centre, which evade analytical or systematisation interpretations. The process of accepting personal viewpoints and concentrating on the effects of a sui generis “participating observation” makes it feasible to take a look at the “Gate people” and their daily efforts, which, as the sketch shows, far surpass the duties of employees. At the same time, the presented essay is an introspective study of a single case, which demonstrates that via an encounter with the “Gate people” the author regained a significant fragment of her personal identity.
