Performance „ja, bóg” / “me, god” is an innovative theatrical project which draws on unresearched and barely known works of Jerzy Grotowski. It touches upon his most important and private issues. November 21 at 7 pm performance will be presented in Zbigniew Raszewski Theatre Institute as part of international conference “Wojtyła-Grotowski &”.
The play „ja, bóg” / „me, god” is an intimate story about Grotowski’s most crucial search within theatre and life. It refers to the most spiritual questions. Tomasz Rodowicz – Joanna Chmielecka duo situates the play in the quest of answering the most important question a human can pose – about the existence, or a lack thereof, of god.
How to recognize what is unrecognisable? How to get a glimpse of “the other side”? This acting duo plays these questions on the basic binary oppositions: life/death, man/woman, human/god, health/disease, youthfulness/oldness.
