„Jeśli coś ma się zmienić, trzeba przez to przejść!”

Summary/Abstract: A review of Maria based on the drama by Isaac Babel, directed by Andrei Breth (Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus). Maria is a merely eight-page drama concerning the effects of the Russian revolution, sketching portraits of the transformations of St. Petersburg’s society circa 1920 in short scenes. While maintaining detailed precision in the staging, the director managed to insert an air of the contemporary and the problems we now face. This gave the play the sense of a fascinating and passionate travel through time in which the viewers arrive at the conclusion that we need only one more financial crisis, one more step toward the breakdown of Europe, or a protest, and history could repeat itself.
