Summary/Abstract: A conversation about work on the roles of Portia and Emilia in Krzysztof Warlikowski’s latest play. Hajewska-Krzysztofik particularly focuses on the figure from The Merchant of Venice, analyzing her situation, her relationships with men, and the decisions she makes. She devotes a great deal of space to the scene in which Portia eats a pound of raw meat, which is a transgression of sorts for her, and becomes a slightly different experience every time. She also speaks of working with Warlikowski on the text and about how the intellectual approach to the role was translated into physicality.
