Życiodajna kropla wody
Beata Kustra reviews Paweł Świątek's Constant Prince (S. Jaracz Theater in Łódź, premiere: 30.10.2015) in the context of computer games and contemporary political and economic problems. She points out that the battle for Ceuta – which turns out to be a water tank in this production – is a struggle for the real lives of other people. She also reads the play in terms of the present refugee crisis and the global problem of the future, i.e. water supply shortages. Following the play's suggestion, she compares the character of the Constant Prince in Paweł Paczesny's interpretation with the role played by Ryszard Cieślak in Jerzy Grotowski's famous staging of the play in 1965.
