“Kora. Posca” at the Proxima Nowy Theatre. What is the attraction of Ziobro about?

When theater tries to recover from a pandemic crisis, when one of its most important debates returns – on violent assault Finally, when culture is constantly in need of ideas on how to facilitate access to it, the right political side of Poland is fighting to influence what we see. Success is not uncommon. Changes in management positions without competitions They became the norm. Just like the governmental nature of TVP.

Krakow remembers well the attempts to censor art. After shouting “shame” at the performance Jan Klata, which restored the glory of the ancient theater, the National Theater plunged into a meltdown (it was finally overcome). Today, the country’s most important people openly follow the provocations of the right-wing media. The Minister of Education praised the Secretary of Education of Malopolska – When advised not to go out to adapt the poet, he called Dziadi “trash”.. They both did not watch the play after that. Perhaps he is the same initiators of the message against New Proxima. Here is a performance dedicated to the local rock goddess, who passed away in 2018 bark.

Of course, the people making the accusations are not about culture and art, but about political manipulation of the populist struggle against so-called opinions. It is they who have tried to distract the voters for years when the crisis in the country – financial, epidemic and now immigrant – intensified. A bill suddenly returns to the House of Representatives Lex TVN Right-wing circles give a clear signal that President Kaczyński needs an ideological weapon. So here’s the material for the next footage – “Insulting” the Mother of God!

All of this is punctuated by hits performed by Katarzyna Chelbini, who carefully imitates Cora (here, actress, director and screenwriter). Manamo. The figures of the Mothers of God are a vague metaphor – mothers and women burdened with religious fantasies; Instructed by the Church’s account of gays + people; A system that Jackowska never really fit in. Poor performance due to random dramaturgy and too much confidence in the party comedy format. But that is not what the appeal is about. Its authors and authors do not have to force themselves to analyze when they have at their disposal the so easily referred to “offensive to religious sentiment” recipe.

For 15 years of operation, the Nowy Proxima Theater has made its dominant courage, social nerves and creative madness, which has not turned into just an empty slogan. Hence the distinct and subversive “Lubiewo” was created. As Patricia and Lucretia sigh at the past Lugo, I wonder how far the level of public debate can dip. For heaven’s sake!
