Summary/Abstract: This conversation about the production of Paradiso (Łaźnia Nowa Theater, premiere: 21.06.2014) focuses on Borczuch's collaboration with people from Life Farm for this project. The director speaks of a change in approach to people with autism, aiming to treat them like fully-fledged co-creators of the play. This premise demanded that the professional actors adopt a different sort of sensitivity toward their partners on stage. The first confrontations with audiences during the January performances had a decisive effect on both the dynamics of this relationship and for the whole project. An essential factor determining the form of the production was the literary material, i.e. Dante's "Paradise."
