Teatr Cinema (Michalowice/Poland)
Yes. It Is. Here
Physical Theatre
German Première
Company
Teatr Cinema has been in existence since 1992. The established core of the company is continually surrounded by new actors and artists coming from all over Poland. Due to their unconventional poetic style, Cinema counts as one of the most important artistic stimuli in recent Polish theatre.
Performance
A room with moveable walls, a kind of communal apartment for aimless drivers, driving on the wrong side of the road, for women without trust and men in hats: exiles from Magritte’s paintings, looking for a pleasant home. All that is missing is a sense of orientation. Not only is the concierge a disguised Beckett, but she speaks in Ionesco’s voice as well. And there are dreadful fears lurking in every corner. In order to tame these fears, the furniture gets carried about the place, at times with heightened seriousness, at times with intentional triviality. Increasingly grotesque seating arrangements are created; on a personal level certain things get shoved up against one another too. It doesn’t do to settle down in any old place, though. A few automatic reactions, some sociability here, some embarassment there, and plenty of banal conversations and surreal pantomimes everywhere – and there you have it, the absurdest of scenes from modern life is right before your eyes.

Albert Lux
German Première
Performance
Albert Lux only gives the appearance of bringing light into the cyclical darkness of Seven Days in Four Rooms to which yesterday’s performance (see page …) belongs. Those who witnessed that performance will recognise the same transitory space of unlimited possibilities, because it is indeed identical. Yet the play is different. This time the Magrittean figures exchange their hats for burning wigs; the wait for room service is in vain; the matchmaking attempts are even more comical, more unnecessary, and the cosmic order wavers to the same degree that humanity’s secrets remain unfathomable and its relationships confused.
