Summary/Abstract: Joanna Jopek believes that Monika Strzępka and Paweł Demirski’s play Courtney Love (Polski Theater in Wrocław, premiere: 30 XI 2012) is the duo’s darkest and most pessimistic performance to date. The world created on the stage is saturated with an atmosphere of resignation, torpor, and dejection. The reviewer believes that in Courtney Love the perfect theatrical form heretofore developed by Strzępka and Demirski has reached a culmination, and the artists are consciously taking advantage of this, boldly attempting to create a new way of making theater. Like the heroine of the title, they are able to forge destruction, disaster, and failure into a creative and refreshing alternative to the capitalist reality.
