XVI MFG Ślub - Teatr La MaMa, Nowy Jork, USA
“Whenever I see any mystique, be it virtue, or family, or faith, or homeland, so many times I have to commit some indecent act,” - Gombrowicz said. The indecent act at this point of unlimited time and space - in dreamland - manifests itself in upturned flags, Hoots fingers by Hooters Girls, bloody insurrection and declaration! How does language bring things into existence, how does a statement make ideas material, who has the power to dictate reality and truth? Distorted! Destroyed! Dislocated! Nightmare! Inflated! Rebellion on a grand scale! Something is rotten in the United States of America!
The director of the show is Zishan Ugurlu, associated with La MaMa Theater. The author of the stage design is Michal Dracz, the costumes were designed by Krystian Szymczak. The result of this intercontinental cooperation is a strong, expressive performance that is sure to remain in the memory of the audience for a long time.
La MaMa Theater is the most important experimental stage in New York. It was founded in Manhattan in1961 by Ellen Stewart. Since its inception, the venue has brought together artists of different nationalities, identities, cultures and provided them with space, support and creative freedom to explore new forms of expression. The idea behind the theater is the belief that art is a force for change, which is why La MaMa is committed to fighting bigotry and intolerance and all its forms.
