Summary/Abstract: Strzępka and Demirski speak of their latest play, Courtney Love, produced at the Polski Theater in Wrocław. They reveal that they were inspired to make the play by reading Everett True’s book, which showed Kurt Cobain’s wife in a radically different light than that in which she has entered the public consciousness. This was initially a play about Courtney’s fight with the male show business world, but the concept of the performance changed repeatedly. Paweł Demirski reveals that the text is infused with the depressive aspect of his own personality. The artists also say that they were interested in showing the mechanism by which, in rejecting our teenage years and discrediting our old dreams, we involuntarily allow the ruling structures to take over our lives.
