Słabość, empatia, troska. Nowe światy i nowe wspólnoty według Grzegorzewskiego
Weakness, Empathy, Care. New Worlds and New Communities according to Grzegorzewski

Summary/Abstract: Analyzing Forefathers' Eve - Improvisations of 1987 (Studio Theater in Warsaw), Kwaśniewska hazards the thesis that this is a play "about the role of women in the Polish, male-created, national mythology and in political and social life, in which male culture and male models are in a state of profound crisis." She points out that Grzegorzewski cast his actresses in many male roles, thus creating various images of mothers, caretakers, and seductresses. Interpreting the significance of the Miss Rollison figure, to whom Grzegorzewski entrusted the "Seeing…" text, she draws on a concept of "politicized motherhood." Then referring, in turn, to the potential to transform the national community with the active participation of women in collective life, she evokes Carol Gilligan's ethics of care.
