Społeczeństwo w potrzebie i pułapki bohaterstwa
A Society in Need and the Pitfalls of Heroism

Summary/Abstract: Zuzanna Berendt reviews “Superplay” directed by Justyna Sobczyk and Jakub Skrzywanek, a co-production by Powszechny Theatre in Warsaw and Theatre 21. It had its premiere on 11 Nov. 2017. The author pays attention to the way the play makes use of the figure of the superhero and its attempts at refashioning such a figure. She points out that its creators clearly situate the production in the current political and social context. In her opinion, Sobczyk and Skrzywanek formulate a postulate for conceiving a relation between audience and artists which can encourage real, critical discussion on the forms of cooperation in a society of people who possess different skills, views, and potentials.
