"Dżihad znaczy: podjąć wysiłek"
“Jihad Means: Make an Effort”

Summary/Abstract: Jan Karow reviews Katarzyna Szyngiera’s play “God in the House” (Polski Theater in Bydgoszcz, premiere: 25.02.2017). The author describes the method used by Szyngiera, Mirosław Wlekły, and Grzegorz Niziołek, creating a collage of texts from the Internet, taken from public statements and interviews gathered while working on a reportage piece for Duże Format. The play addresses Poles’ fear of accepting immigrants from the Near East and alludes to the social climate after the attacks in Paris in 2015. The reviewer stresses that its greatest asset is how it problematizes harmful generalizations in the discourse on immigrants and the fear-mongering in society by right-wing politicians and the Catholic Church.
