Keywords: Marcin Cecko; Balladyna; Krzysztof Garbaczewski; actress
Summary/Abstract: The actress speaks of her work on the title role in Marcin Cecko’s Balladyna, directed by Krzysztof Garbaczewski (the Polish Theatre in Poznań, prem: 25 I 2013). Justyna Wasilewska introduces her character in three configurations: Balladyna/me/actress. This simultaneous action across three registers enables her to break away from the male paradigm and speak in her own language. In her view, the feminist patriotic discourse in the second part of the play not only relates the story of the powerlessness of a woman, but that of the human subject in general.
