Nowe życie kina
Cinema's New Life

Summary/Abstract: A review of the play The Other Woman, directed by Grzegorz Jarzyna (TR Warsaw, premiere: 24, 25.04.2014) inspired by a film by John Cassavetes. The action takes place on two levels – "real life" interferes with theater life on stage. Jarzyna gives some of his characters the names of the actors playing them, which additionally blurs the boundary between the fiction and the reality. According to Fita, these strategies allow the director to expand the interpretive layer and, by the same token, to create a performance not only about the passing of time, but also about the theater, which, in the capitalist era, has to struggle to hold its position, just as people do.
