Krótka historia (o) ludzkości
A Brief History of Humanity

Summary/Abstract: Tobiasz Papuczys reviews "A Brief Outline of Everything" directed by Teo Dumski (Cloud Theater, premiere: Nowe Horyzonty Cinema in Wrocław, 4.02.2016). A Brief Outline of Everything is a multimedia spectacle that blends theater and film, in which the artists use a plotless montage of scenes to depict the history of the world. Papuczys analyzes the use of video, pointing out the opposition between the living actor and the projection. The director calls his technique an associative montage. The critic sees a relationship between this way of narrating the history of the world and the poetic shorthand of Stanley Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey. The essayistic form of the performance gives the viewer a peek into the thought and creative processes of the director.
