Rewolucja na pół gwizdka
A Halfhearted Revolution

Summary/Abstract: Maksymilian Wroniszewski reviews The Coming Spring by Natalia Korczakowska, performed at Wybrzeże Theater in Gdańsk, in dramaturgical collaboration with Wojtek Zrałek-Kossakowski (premiere: 14.03.2015). The author believes that the director's decision to focus on the subject of revolution deprives the characters of psychological depth and leads him to miss many interesting strands of the novel. Weaving in episodes from the history of Poland (from 1945 and 1989), and setting the second part of the play in contemporary times, Korczakowska suggests the endless turning of the wheel of history, which is the main (and, according the critic, the only) thematic axis of the performance.
