A Topography of Recollections

Summary/Abstract: Piotr Olkusz reviews a play by Karolina Maciejaszek, The Cry of the City (Pinokio Theater in Łódź, premiere: 2.10.2015). He analyzes the play by placing it within the mandate of the Pinokio Theater under Konrad Dworakowski. The artists make an attempt to use theater to reach people who are seldom (or never) in the audience. Olkusz mentions previous projects: We Enter the Gates and This Is the City Speaking. He characterizes the work of Pinokio Theater as sensitive to certain Łódź districts, the Jewish past of the city, and the local inhabitants' reception. He describes how The Cry of the City shows the history of Łódź from the perspective of private stories.
