The Magic Mountain
In Michał Borczuch’s play, it is the COVID lockdown that makes the occupants of a tenement indulge in conversation, philosophising and practicing silent rituals of self-care. Wrapping themselves in blankets or painting walls, they conduct various protocols of control and are absorbed by reading The Magic Mountain. Under a spell, they function in a suspended state between seemingly contradicting desires: for the state of suspension to last as long as possible and for life to return to normal as soon as possible.
