Dostrzec chorobę, otworzyć piwnicę
Perceiving Sickness and Opening the Basement

Summary/Abstract: A review of the you are not indifferent to me project at the Zamek Cultural Centre in Poznań. Kowalski describes the plays presented as part of the festival, which oscillate between social engagement and indifference. Melancholy and Demonstrations, directed by Lola Arias, presents the strong bond between the artist and her mentally ill mother. Marcus Öhrn's Conte d’Amour is evidently inspired by the story of Josef Fritzl, which the director also used in the later We Love Africa and Africa Loves Us. The figure of a father capable of loving to the point of extreme cruelty serves as a warning for the spectator against the unconscious reserves of insanity lying dormant in every human being.
