Summary/Abstract: Agata Łuksza reviews the play You Scream, China! Directed by Paweł Łysak (premiere: 6.11.2015, Powszechny Theater in Warsaw), first outlining the program of Powszechny Theater, whose slogan is “the theater that likes to meddle.” She notes that Sergei Tretyakov fits the bill perfectly. While agreeing with the artists' premises, Łuksza writes a critical analysis of the performance. In broaching the subject of colonialism, she states, Łysak presents racial stereotypes in an “extreme, even cartoonish way.” Thus, instead of exploding them from within, he unintentionally ends up reinforcing them.
