FRACTURES - Bonds OF CULTURE - PROLOGUE

the effect of the annual workshop with a theater group led by the actors of the Kana Theater


The work on this production proceeded in the atmosphere of diffusion of what could be described as "the poetics of human being": diffusion saturated with fascination with the universe and an alien being, but also with the clash of these worlds. Intuitions, absurd fantasies, anxieties, desires, doubts of young people who are often not entirely self-defined, who look for a way to cope with the world – by understanding it or by escaping from it. These are the moments, meetings, situations: those approached with a pinch of salt, or ridiculed, those so intimate that you can whisper about them, and those so painful that you can only shout them out. "Pęknięcia” [Fractures] is a collection of impressions, collisions, objections, disagreements, discomforts. It is a story about being here and now with what surrounds us.

YOUNG KANA, or THE FESTIVAL’S PROLOGUE 

This year’s Bonds of Culture Festival will take a form of meetings – divided on particular days – with the most important directions and areas in which we try to move during the year-round activities of the Centre. The Festival will present activities that are especially important and close to each of us. In Poland we celebrate the Children’s Day on June 1st; thus it is not a coincidence that at the beginning of this month (to be precise: during the last May/the first June weekend), we want to present our youngest Child – productions made by two youth groups active in the Kana: t.kanka and Połowisko. Both performances were constructed as a result of workshops, meetings, diagnoses, group processes and individual discoveries that took place at work on Kana’s floor – both are also our symbolic birthday gift for Zygmunt Duczyński (born on June 2nd), who was always the most interested in everything that was young, new, unpredictable, wandering, risky, open to life and curious about the world.
