[To] See What We Can Do Together: Wojtek Ziemilski in Conversation with Katarzyna Lemańska and Karolina Wycisk

Abstract


Ways of working at different institutions – from state-owned theatres to independent ventures such as Komuna// Warszawa – are the main theme of Karolina Wycisk and Katarzyna Lemańska’s interview with director Wojtek Ziemilski. As he elaborates on this issue, Ziemilski references the examples of his (uncompleted) project at the National Stary Theatre in Kraków, and One Gesture and Come Together, his recent Warsaw productions at the Nowy and Studio Theatres, respectively. The interview takes as its starting point the question concerning the future of the art of theatre in Poland, following a change of government in the country. Ziemilski specifies what ‘the economy of closeness’ means to him and comments on the current state of affairs in theatre from the point of view of a freelance artist.
