„The road of slippery grass” – the spectacle and meeting with its creators

The 21st edition of International Festival of Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant continues after a very intensive weekend. On Tuesday, 17 March, on the Small Stage of Powszechny Theatre we saw “The road of slippery grass. Of the devil who walked through the village” – the spectacle produced by the Modjeska Theatre in Legnica.

“The road of slippery grass. Of the devil who walked through the village” is a story about the nature of evil. Just before Christmas Bogdan shows up in the village. He has just finished serving time for mistreatment of his family. His return again destroys the community order and awakens the villagers’ long-hidden emotions. Good and evil, executioner and victim, truth and lie – the contrasts cease to be clear. The evil becomes „relative”, everything seems to be a matter of a collective rightness of the community. Where does evil come from? What is its nature? Is it born outside or does it grow inside the man? Is devil in the man?

After the spectacle Łukasz Drewniak talked with its creators. Paweł Wolak and Katarzyna Dworak told about the origin, plot and idea of the play. They said thay wanted to set the action in a village because it has an unreal, ludic and fairy character for theatre spectators who generally live in the cities. That is why the whole story is not only documentary but it gets a universal dimension as well. The directors who are also actors told about directing „from the inside” being in the very heart of the spectacle among the actors.

Thank you for coming!
