Provisorium Theatre and Kompania Theatre would like to invite for a new performance – Sławomir Mrożek’s “Emigrants.”
The main character of the performance directed by Witold Mazurkiewicz is a forty-year-old man who has spent has half of his life on emigrating and reaching compromises. Perhaps he is a person who abandoned his country for good and did not come back there and now he observes a new wave of emigration for economic reasons. How do the words of contemporary politicians about Irish miracle in Poland sound in this world of disappointment and humiliation? The words of coming back to Poland? How does the world look facing the riots in Paris or the attacks in the London tube or in New York? Such questions show the tragedy of emigration – running away from or seeking something indefinite. Emigration is creating a multicultural world which is not only advantageous for our reality but sometimes tragic and bloody as in Madrid or Paris.
