Summary/Abstract: A review of a play by Maja Kleczewska, based on a text by Elfriede Jelinek, Shadows: Eurydice Speaks (IMKA Theater in Warsaw, Polski Theater in Bydgoszcz, Muzyczny Capitol Theater, premiere: 26.03.2014). The minimalist set design by Katarzyna Borkowska depicting Hades is particularly noteworthy; it is based on a cuboid of one-way mirrors, which means that the actors cannot see the audience, only their own reflections. Another phenomenon is the character created by the vocalist of the band Hey, Katarzyna Nosowska, who breaks up the performance with various songs. The greatest drawback of Kleczewska's production is the selection of the consecutive incarnations of Eurydice, which remains no more than a shallow, though skilfully executed satire on contemporary trends. Nonetheless, the general evaluation is a positive one.
