A bit of culture

This month I was in the theatre twice. First play, ‘Klątwa’ of Wyspiański, was very disappointing. Never once during the whole spectacle was I particularly interested. It was long and monotonous. Long moments of silence and lack of any greater action made me concentrate on my thoughts rather than the play. I don’t recommend.

Second one was ‘Śmierć człowieka-wiewiórki’. The play was something new, something I have never came across before. It was also hard to understand. I am not an expert on the post-war reality nor do I know much about the story of Ulrike Meinhof and Andreas Baader who fought for New Germany. I admit I didn’t understand the play. However, I did enjoy it on some level.

In March I am going to watch ‘Three Sisters’ by Czechow. But unlike other times, this one I am going to read the book before seeing the play. I do not plan on trying to understand what is going on through the whole spectacle, but simply enjoy and think about a message the author wanted us, spectators, to receive.

I have to say that theatre does not excite me as much as philharmonic does. I was only once on a musical spectacle and it really impressed me. The music, the sheer power coming out of the players – it’s incredible! You have to experience it yourself! This first time I shed tears. Too much emotions invaded me and I just cracked. Never before the theatre did that to me. It must be because I’m more open to music than words.
