Summary/Abstract: Olga Katafiasz reports on the plays performed during the 8th International Dialog Theater Festival in Wrocław (17-24.10.2015). She devotes the text to two productions by Ivo van Hove based on Ingmar Bergman scripts: Cries and Whispers and After the Rehearsal/Persona.In juxtaposing the staging solutions and the issues in the performances withBergman's works, she turns her eye to the difference in media: film and theater. She sums up her investigations as follows: “In Cries and Whispers van Hove reevaluates the vision of the Swedish director so profoundly that we have before us a performance, we forget about the film. In Persona he appears to follow Bergman with such fidelity that he fails to find his own subject to free the viewer from the trap of comparison.”
