The performance is the outcome of work based on several scenes of “Kordian” a drama by Juliusz Słowacki.
The scenes of “Preparation”, “Fear and Imagination” as well as ”The madhouse” were the inciting point of both the exercises and the performance, and while they created an independent entity they do allude to the knowledge of the entire drama. The essence of the search of the shape of the performance is the laboratorial discovery of a way of reading the original theatrical imagery of Juliusz Słowacki and combining it with the sensitivity of the contemporary actors and actresses by developing their acting techniques.
