| The Play | ||||||||
| Grotowski – The Attempt to Retreat is a personal play for Chorea which celebrates its fifth anniversary. Six young actors from the group reached for Grotowski, since he harmonized with their sense of alinration and disorientation. And since he had placed extreme demands on himself and on others, at the same time being aware how often he disappointed and was disappointed. They found in him a partner to talk with on embarrassing subjects. The play contains many confessions verging on exhibitionism, a lot of physical extremism, fighting with the body, the desperate search for communication through movement. The young artists struggle with one another, use quotes from Grotowski’s works to talk about their own maladjustment. The most intimate interlude is constituted by the recollections of Tomasz Rodowicz, who talks about a night once spent with Grotowski in a hospital in Chicago. It was a crucial moment, a moment of questioning the certainties, throwing off the balance. | ||||||||
