Wysocka: A State of Importance

Summary/Abstract: The reviewer of Barbara Wysocka's play Szapocznikow: A State of Unimportance (Centrala, Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw and the Polski Theater in Wrocław, premiere: 11.04.2014) calls attention to how much the production is not a biography of Alina Szapocznikow, despite all appearances. The director more concentrates on how the female artist is seen, and why women themselves denigrate the role of representatives of their own gender in the world of art and science. Jarecka also describes what she sees as a key and brilliant stage solution, in which Szapocznikow responds to personal questions concerning her stay in ghettos and camps during the Second World War.
