Summary/Abstract: Mikołaj Mikołajczyk speaks of the beginnings of his solo work. He explains the emotional source of the Triptych that came about at the time: Waiting, I Want to Watch the World with You and Plaisir d’amour: “These plays emerged like self-therapy, though the third part is both self-therapy and medicine I apply.” He also goes back to the origins of his creative path, when he met and worked with Henryk Tomaszewski, who encouraged him to learn dance (from pantomime, through dance theater, to classical ballet). He also speaks of the root of his choreographic work in drama theater, both for plays, where he handles movement (in Everything Tomorrow, or: Liberated Dolls)made entirely by himself and the actors, and for the opera.
