SYNOPSIS

The works on this play began in February 2020. It was supposed to tell a story of five rapid processes of many species dying out in masses. It was also about a sixth disaster - modern destruction of species caused by human activity.  

Extinction is the best opportunity to realize what we have and what we would rather not lose. It is not final, although that’s what it seems for the ones dying out. It is continuous, sometimes it is just more visible. From some point of view, it is just a change. A play by Strefa WolnoSłowa is an attempt to write down this change. It was supposed to be about extinction, but it is about trying to survive. It is about foil gloves in the air, thrown to the ground right after leaving the greengrocers. It is about observation - statistics, birds, neighbours, and a fallen tree that grew mushrooms in the last few weeks. It is about seventeen square meters of an indebted studio apartment, an old wall unit and a flight home. It is about unemployment, working in pyjamas, dreaming about dolphins. It is about intimacy in front of the camera, a burst pipe, doing your lips in front of a mirror, and a view from a window, or a balcony if you are lucky.

 

A play by Strefa WolnoSłowa is a six-part story about survival, created during the pandemic by participants of multicultural and intergenerational workshops „Azyl Warszawa 2020”.
