Spotkania z utopią
Encounters with Utopia

Summary/Abstract: Agata Chałupnik writes up three performances in the Real Utopias series, created as part of the Komuna// Warszawa Future project: Make Yourself by Marta Ziółek, Contempt by the Kantor Downtown collective (Daniel Chryc, Jolanta Janiczak, Joanna Krakowska, Magda Mosiewicz, and Wiktor Rubin), and B.R.I.N. by Komuna// Warszawa. Recalling an essay by Thomas More and studies by Jerzy Szacki which show the shared premises of utopia builders, she attempts to show how the plays presented by Komuna// Warszawa make utopias. Ultimately, she states that all the plays “border on dystopias; in other words, they deconstruct the utopian projects they take up."
