Teatr krytyczny, wojna i przypadłość
Critical Theatre, War, and Affliction

Summary/Abstract: Dorota Sosnowska writes on “UA Landing!” – A Survey of Ukrainian Theatres, which was held in Warsaw from 2 to 5 Nov. 2017. She examines selected performances juxtaposing them with the perspective proposed by the curators of the project Joanna Wichowska and Roza Sarkisian: with its critical and polemicizing potential, they believe Ukrainian independent theatre (contra the establishment) is an arena for radical voices and gestures of opposition against political oppression. Sosnowska proposes a different perspective, writing that the selected plays “enable us not only to inquire into the critical and political possibility of [Ukrainian] theatre, but also into the theatre’s unique identity rising out of the experience of war, trauma, and crisis.”
