Pornografia
Teatr Powszechny im. Jana Kochanowskiego w Radomiu
Of course, in Pornografia I am not so much seeking philosphical theses as desiring to extract the artistic and psychological possibilities of the subject. I am looking for ‘beauties’ appropriate to the conflict. Is Pornografia metaphysical/ Metaphysics means beyond-physics, beyond-corporeality, and my intention was to get at certain antinomies of the soul through the body.
Witold Gombrowicz, Diary
Pornografia is one of the weirdest, most mysterious works of Witold Gombrowicz. It is multi-story, ambiguous, non-obvious, provocative with the title itself - perhaps for these reasons it is staged so rarely in Polish theatre. However, now we find in it many current motives and problems, which are no longer abstract for people, but has become everyday reality.
The heroes of the novel have to live in isolation, scraps of reality which they can influence, by gestures, rituals, conventions they try to build meaningfullness, give a meaning to life or by breaking these to push themselves, push the limits in looking for an answer - as a matter of fact, what life is?
Can its absolute, overriding meaning be found? Or maybe existence is so momentary and fleeting that there is nothing more than fun, game, constant experiment, checking what can and cannot be done. Reality as an incessant laboratory, even at the cost of a final, bloody catastrophe.
The show includes strobe effects.
