Lenin z kolczykiem w uchu
Lenin with an earring in his ear

Summary/Abstract: Kinga Kurysia describes Monika Muskała's „Tożsamość Wila”["Will's identity"] directed by Gabriela Muskała. She begins her review with calling Nowa Huta non-place which is composed of the myths, images, prejudices and unusual history due to the fact that sentiments and resentments connected to this social realist suburb became subjects of the play. Kurysia delves into both the method of work on the play (a field research conducted by a group of anthropologists from Jagiellonian University) and the dramaturgical ideas of Monika Muskała, such as personification of iconic places of Nowa Huta. Nevertheless, she wonders if a convention of farce allows to avoid speaking directly about specific problems.
