This play poses a difficult question: does any social revolution make sense, and is anti-Semitism an inextricable part of the Polish mindset? “The action takes place deep in the soil of Polish contemporary life. Trees hang over the stage, and below their roots a noble manor neighbors a cafe for Sunday philosophers, a photocopy place, and a psychotherapist's couch. In the background there is a watchtower and a carousel like the one that spun near the wall of the Warsaw Ghetto in Miłosz's poem. Barbara Niechcic (a brilliant Dorota Segda) lives off a nostalgia for the epoch of aristocrats. Zygmunt Krasiński/ Count Henryk (Marcin Czarnik/ Małgorzata Hajewska-Krzysztofik) is going mad with fright seeing the new times approaching, as he sees incarnated by the economically powerful Jews, among them Rothschild/the Wolf of Wall Street (Szymon Czacki) – a symbol of the Holocaust, the postwar pogroms, and today's 1% wealthy population,” wrote Aneta Kyzioł in Polityka. A brilliantly acted performance with a provocative finale that will leave no viewer indifferent; this production received many prestigious theater awards.
