Summary/Abstract: This conversation with the author of A Piece on Mother and the Fatherland contains a description of the text’s genesis – a very personal impulse which after some time required distancing, artistic “processing” and universal applicability. They then raise the following issues: the toppling of the mother myth, relations between mother and daughter, identity in large measure constructed by historical narrative, Polish nationalism and anti-Semitism. Keff also comments on both productions realised on the basis of her text, favouring Marcin Liber’s staging over Jan Klata’s version.
