Rysa na ornamencie
Scratch on an Ornament

Summary/Abstract: Stanisław Godlewski reviews 'Jenůfa' by Leoš Janáček, directed by Alvis Hermanis (Wielki Theater in Poznań, premiere: 26.02.2016). The author chiefly describes the staging of the performance, calling special attention to the set design and visual solutions. Outlining the plot of the opera – the story of an unhappily enamored and abandoned girl who gives birth to a child out of wedlock – Godlewski notes that Hermanis focuses on the relationship between the individual and the local society. The facade, a village immersed in Moravian folklore, is a space of both beauty and violence in Hermanis's production.
