LAILONIA
Opening night: Szczecin, 5th - 6th September 2009
"The Kana team serves us a tasteful self-ironic theatrical dish. The experiment in the category of theater within theater turns out successful. (...) The lightness of the show is hugely a merit of great acting and directing. But also thanks to harmonious team who, although made of distinct individuals, remains a unity. And if they share similar sense of humor and know how to juggle it flawlessly - it will infect the audience and guarantee a successful piece."
[Beata Kalinowska. Teatralia Warszawa, 4 November 2009]
...I have no idea, where this Lailonia is. It´s only a pretext to brood without restraint of imagination, with a lot of humor an mockery over the questions of who we are and to where we go (...). "Lailonia" is performed as a play of theatre in the theatre in front of us. On the empty stage, characters dressed in black: with the help of facial and bodily expression, their wardrobe and simple props, they create the space for following stories. It`s a bit of childrens play, a bit of cabaret as well; enhanced by the actors subtle interpretation of the jokes and the autoirony of the play (...), their acting itself: fresh and spontaneous. (...) Kana is playing "Lailonia" really as an ensemble. Throughout the whole play, we are made not to forget that we still are in a theatre.(...) And the spectator is more and more convinced that although it may be an imperfect actor who is creating this imperfect world around us, this world still is wonderful, and to be in it even more...

...While watching the stories of Lailonia, we realize that actually those are stories about us, about our difficulties, our mistakes, our doggedness, our defeats, our hopes and our foolishness. We all are inhabitants of Lailonia, there we have our houses, no matter if we may call it Pogodno or Pernambuco. Lailonia is in every one of us, we are in it. (...) It really is worth, to go to see "Lailonia". One and a half hour of good theatre! It really is worth to go to Kana Theatre to have a good laugh there, but also - maybe only for one`s own sake - to go there and to experience this "Lailonian lesson"...
