W narodowej karczmie
In the National Tavern

Summary/Abstract: A review of the play The Tovianists, Kings of the Clouds, directed by Wiktor Rubin, based on a text by Jolanta Janiczak (Stary Theater in Krakow, premiere: 14.03.2014). The author compares the world depicted in the Krakow production with the image of the Polish emigre community described by Cyprian Kamil Norwid. Jarząbek-Wasyl calls attention to aspects that depart from Norwid's concept. The critic believes that the creators of the play were deceived by the limitless capacity of the symbolic space, and the powerful impact of the opening of the performance diminishes with each passing minute. Consequently, Krakow's The Tovianists... is marked by a lack of both independence and originality.
