Człowieku, jesteś?
Calling Mankind

Summary/Abstract: Dawid Dudko reviews The Possibility of an Island directed by Magda Szpecht (TR Warsaw, premiere: 18.11.2015), calling attention to the significance of the space arranged as a transitory area, combining past and future. Dudko suggests that the intermingling of the time frames prompts some basic questions on man's existence in the world. He also highlights the actors, who marvelously juggle various conventions. Moreover, he stresses the role played by sexuality, seen as an element that determines human presence, and the camera, which intensifies the sense of man's desire to alienate himself. Dudko appreciates Szpecht's performance for its unpredictability and intelligent ineffectiveness.
