Bohater na miarę
Made to Measure Hero

Summary/Abstract: A review of Piszczyk, a play based on a text by Jan Czapliński and Piotr Rowicki and directed by Piotr Ratajczak (prem.: 25.05.2013, Polski Theatre, Poznań). Piotr Ratajczak examines the phenomenon of Polishness by evoking the ambitions, hopes and disappointments that followed in the wake of the 1990s. The stage therefore plays host to glaring images, attitudes and characters that have been typical of our country over the last quarter century, while the classic “anti-hero” Jan Piszczyk – who is modelled on a character from a 1989 film – becomes a Polish incarnation of Everyman.
