A couple of years ago the famous New York theater company The Wooster Group prepared “The Poor Theatre” a peculiar review of one of the most recognised performances by Jerzy Grotowski and the Laboratory Theatre – “Acropolis”. Wojtek Ziemilski goes a couple of steps further. He repeats “The Poor Theatre” or, to be more precise, he plays with the concepts of the repetition and the original. In the piece, three children and three adults persistently repeat a short fragment of “Acropolis” by Stanisław Wyspiański. Directed by the adults, the children gradually enter their culturally defined roles. Is repetition the only way of assimilating culture? “Poor Theatre: Remix” is the first performance by Wojtek Ziemilski after his broadly commented upon premiere of “Small Narration” at the Studio Theatre in Warsaw.
