Ragazzo dell’Europa

Reviews

• “Agnieszka Podsiadlik, Aleksandra Konieczna, Tomasz Tyndyk and Piotr Głowacki talk in the backstage while being filmed (there is a screen on the stage). What we get is nearly two hours of an excellent fun, served at the dizzying pace. With parts and costumes passed from hand to hand, actors discuss representation mechanisms, examine the possibilities of being themselves in their parts, cry over losing their charm – the kind of charisma which made them stand out in the crowd and enabled them to go out on the stage every evening.”

• “Pollesch’s project is a subversive commentary on the reality that keeps on losing its realness. A reality that gets lost in multiplicity and excess. It gets diluted in copies, quotes and simulacrums. Although Pollesch shows in “Ragazzo”, that you cannot find the truth in a theatre, we believe him. Because it seems that the truth is long gone. Or maybe there are too many truths to be of any consequence.”

• “It used to be said, that Pollesch’s speaks only on the problems that are important to the left-wing. Pollesch’s theatre is often described as leftist, extremely liberal, even anarchistic. I’m not sure if discourse constructed by Pollesch is limited to any group. I think it should appeal to the imagination of every intelligent participant of the social life. To every human, even a traditionalist, who understands that everyone is always subjected to various psychological and cultural determinants, and the continuous stress of traditions, habits, norms and plain biology.”
