Już nie aktor. Z Piotrem Skibą rozmawia Anka Herbut
No Longer an Actor: Piotr Skiba in conversation with Anka Herbut

Summary/Abstract: Anka Herbut speaks with Piotr Skiba on building a certain kind of theatrical presence in Krystian Lupa's play The Woodcutters: Holzfällen (Polski Theater in Wrocław, premiere: 23.10.2014). The artist speaks of how he came to explore Thomas Bernhard and the path he took with the director in the process of creating such an introverted and contradictory character. For Skiba, the key mechanism in building the role was an almost performative transcendence of his own self in his actor's imagination, which he calls “betraying the actor in himself.” Skiba sees theatricality and acting as among the main themes of both the text and the staging.
