Kuba Roszkowski’s play Wałęsa in Kolonos, directed by Bartosz Szydłowski, showcases the deadlock of the Polish people, trapped in their eternal controversies, which brings to light the idea of fate, thus confronting the Polish people with the future. Szydłowski and Roszkowski place us all, alongside the main character, on the edge of the abyss described by Wyspiański in Marriage.

Everything starts with the funeral of Wałęsa, that’s when the abyss opens, regardless of how loved or hated the politician has been – because, more importantly, Wałęsa represented for ten million Poles and their families the hero that was meant to bring them back their freedom and hope. It is also meaningful that the performance, hinting at the importance of the community, is performed in Łaźnia Nowa from the Nowa Huta neighbourhood (Krakow), and it is galvanized by a strong desire to rebuild the community. The disintegration of the society as a community is an even more terrible experience.”

It would have been better had we died right then, after the killing of the Sphynx. And even right there, at the monument, in the pages of history. No ifs or buts”Jerzy Stuhr
