THE OTHER is a story about the fate of a woman — wife, mother, daughter, actress. A tale of breaking barriers, rebellion and stepping out of the comfort zone. The everyday struggle for one’s identity alongside artistic ambitions is a bumpy road. The protagonist, however, follows a path of seeking freedom, which is a particularly difficult struggle because for years she lived in the shadow of an authoritarian mother.
THE OTHER is a one-woman show in which the actress dialoguess with the audience while searching for her identity. It is play, amusement and drama in one — about life, strength, weakness, an insatiable appetite for everyday life, about loss and victory. A story sparkling with wit and deep reflection… in short, a rollercoaster.
From curiosities: the performer of the main role is a member of a dance formation that in November 2022 won the world championship in tap dancing. Will this skill be used on stage?
Project: Originally THE OTHER was to be created exclusively through the feminine element. However, the theme proved so universal that men also added their contribution. Thanks to this, the project became versatile, capacious and open.
From a review:
"Looking at the stage of Druga Strefa I saw not one Katarzyna Traczyńska, but two. An excellent actress — delivering the captivating text of the monodrama with ease and clarity. Skillfully using gesture and facial expressions. Efficiently using the only scenographic element that was on that stage. But I also saw a wonderful, strong and fascinating Human. Someone whom ordinary life made an extraordinary character. Indomitable and worthy of imitation." — Jacek Mroczek, teatrvaria
"I am impressed by the amazing acting of Katarzyna Traczyńska and the talent of Agnieszka Lis, whose text the monodrama directed by Anna Sandowicz is based on. Full of expression, incredible emotions and so very real. Bravo!" — zaczytanapodrozniczka
