Wynaleźć katastrofę
Inventing a Catastrophe

Summary/Abstract: A review of a play by Iga Gańczarczyk, titled Catastronauts (Nowy Theater in Warsaw, premiere: 08.11.2013), which uses an almost documentary form to recount the journey of the astronauts who died in the Challenger shuttle disaster. The story line uses a science-fiction convention, the soundtrack involves modern non-contact instruments, while the theory behind the play was, according to the creators, to make a vision of a catastrophe, in which chance and experimentation clash with order and structure. Stasiowska notes, however, that the various parts of the play and the modern music theory generate no new quality content.
