Characters from the Kołakowski’s tales selected to the production are afraid of their anonymity. They can do anything to emphasize their presence, to be noticed, to be distinguished from the crowd, to exist. They believe that if they manage to satisfy that desire, they will be happy at last. There is a certain similarity between them and the actors performing the roles of Lailonia habitants. They are more and more tempted to “come into being” on stage. Everybody wants to have their “five minutes,” everybody wants their performance to be successful. Everybody wants to be a winner, nobody wants to be a loser.
"Here on earth, there is no success. Certainly, there are some famous people, yet I would insist, that we are all losers", Kolakowski writes. Shall we accept our life as an unavoidable failure? Does that mean that there is no point in making any attempts to fight for one's own happiness? Do we have any chance to win while tussling with our fate? Do we have any influence on the results? "Lightness of the performance is a great merit of excellent acting and the director's guidance (...) a perfect way to make a successful piece." [Beata Kalinowska, Teatralia Warsaw]
The spectacle has won the XVIII Alternative Theatre Meetings 'Klamra' 2010 in Toruń.
