Summary/Abstract: Sandra Szwarc writes of two plays shown in the framework of Flemish Week (15-23.03.2015) at Gdańsk's Shakespeare Theater as part of the Theaters of Europe series. The first is Peter Verhelst's autobiographical monodrama Africa about a person with a split identity, who divides his life between Belgium and Kenya. The second is the performance Front (premiere: 22 March 2014) by Luk Perceval based on All Quiet on the Western Front byErich Maria Remarque, the journals of Henri Barbusse titled Fire, and war documentary materials. Szwarc writes that the two plays, though very different, “were collages of emotions, a hodgepodge of visions and impressions; a combination of poetic and documentary components that formed a fluid and fleeting image, crowned with a striking conclusion.”
