Play Theater

Summary/Abstract: A review of a play by Paweł Miśkiewicz, performed at the Stary Theater in Krakow –Anton Chekov’s The Seagull (premiere: 4 June 2011). “Theater is the subject of the Krakow Seagull, and the subject of the actors’ games with the viewers,” Walaszek writes in her first sentence. She then analyzes the levels and forms of this meta-theatricality: from the starlet acting crossed with the delicate, yet trashy expression of Nina – Małgorzata Hajewska-Krzysztofik – through fluid acting that straddles characters and actors, and the presentation of new acting conventions, to games with the audience. To sum up, the author compares the play to the most recent season at the Stary Theater – to her mind, a very weak one.
