Człowiek niedostworzony
Half-formed Man

Summary/Abstract: A review of the play Ophelias, based on a text by Jolanta Janiczak, and directed by Wiktor Rubin (Wilam Horzycy Theater in Toruń, premiere: 13.11.2011), whose protagonists are three female artists, Camille Claudel, Zelda Fitzgerald, and Sylvia Plath, their partners, and a woman oppressing Plath – Assia Wevill. Schreiber points out the complexity and ambiguity of Janiczak’s text, in which “the images and words contradict those that have come before.” He then states that “Rubin’s very fascinating (and very individual!) theatrical language […] is a good match for Janiczak’s text.” Nonetheless, the play is not without its flaws – it can be too static, abstract, and tiring.
