WHERE?!

Polish-German production of an outdoor performance

First Polish presentation: 02. July 2008 at the International Street Artists Festival in Szczecin

"Where to?!" is a projection of human wandering in the world of our imagination - dreams, fears, longings and needs. An intensive inner journey: full of unreal images, encounters with one's own demons, with realized desires, with own anxiety. This is a story about loss and maladjustment, fighting against obstacles, mutiny against non-acceptance, seeking warmth and fulfillment and an attempt to find one's own place in the world.

...this journey is an extraordinary gift, for it gives possibility of choosing the place you want to belong. Sometimes it is difficult to name the existing lands, it is difficult to comprehend what their "causing force" is. Are they creatures of our imagination? Are they dreams? Are they conscious projections? Are they our longings, or memories? Who knows, maybe they are all a little of them... This is the story about someone who does not want to submit to the Time. Since the beginning of history humans have struggled against passage of time. Our adversary is much stronger, but it does not mean we are doomed to fail. Sometimes we can win this fight. At least for a while...
