Wędrówki obcych. Temat migracji w spektaklu Ariane Mnouchkine
Travels Of Migrants. The Topic Of Migration In The Spectacle Of Ariane Mnouchkine

Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes and interprets Ariane Mnouchkine’s 2006 film based on her own theatrical piece of 2003 „Le Derniere Caravansérail (Odyssées)”. The play focuses on the problem of migration from the perspective of individual experiences of people as told by themselves in camps in Sangatte, Lombok, and Villawood. Mnouchkine did not prepare her own text replacing it with recorded testimonies and improvisations of the actors. She avoided ideological political discourse trying to portray people suspended between countries: their own, where it is now impossible to live, and those that do not want to accept them. Her project required new formula of an intercultural theatre - a synthesis of traditions of the Far East, Ancient Greece, and physical theatre, which was also present in her previous works.
