Blady finisaż
A Limping Finissage

Summary/Abstract: Aleksandra Haduła reviews Western (premiere: 4.09.2015), closing the Śląski Theater in Katowice's Holy Silesia / Damned Silesia series. The author outlines the theme of Artur Pałyga's staging, the story of 19th-century emigrants from Silesia who arrive in the United States. She focuses on describing the hybrid identity of the protagonists, their entanglement in the past. She has a critical take at the cabaret and metatheatrical conventions used in the play and the lack of original response to questions of Silesian identity.
