Summary/Abstract: Grzegorz Stępniak reviews Dynasty by the Pink Mama Theater group (prem.: 20 Feb 2015 at Dampfzentrale Bern, Switzerland). The point of departure for the review of the performance (presented in June at Małopolski Ogród Sztuki) is the mention of the cult Eighties television series telling the story of the Carrington family. Despite significant differences between the series and the performance, which is a singular adaptation of Euripides' The Bacchae, Stępniak points out certain similarities. In this context, the author's critical remarks concerning the camp or queer character of Pink Mama Theater's work are particularly interesting: it is theatre that wants to be subversive, but in fact perpetuates stereotypes.
