Wspomnienia z gwiezdnego pyłu
Stardust memories

Summary/Abstract: Aleksandra Haduła reviews Morphine – a performance directed by Ewelina Marciniak (Silesian Theatre, Katowice, prem: 8 Nov 2014) in the postindustrial space of the Wilson Shaft Gallery. Using Szczepan Twardoch's novel as a basis, together with playwright Jarosław Murawski, Marciniak created a mosaic of episodes arranged into a sequence of scenes-memories which – contrary to the literary source – constitute a seemingly drug-induced dream which allows to escape the wartime reality. The author notices that because of the irony and a skilful use of collective notions, the performance noticeably moves its focus from history to a sensual memory about an artificially constructed world of the past.
