We're returning to Warsaw! 🎭✨
𝑳𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂 𝑼𝒄𝒉𝒚𝒃𝒊𝒆𝒏́ is a document that was handed to one of the employees of a cultural institution on the first day after her return from vacation. The list contained a number of accusations regarding her work. Instead of a dialogue with her supervisor - a document outlining shortcomings. Instead of seeking solutions - a corrective plan and a threat of sanctions.
What does practicing solidarity, cooperation, and social justice in the cultural sector mean? Who sets the boundaries of communication and what are the consequences of crossing and maintaining them? How can we make work in culture ecological, sustainable, and healthy?
“𝑳𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂 𝑼𝒄𝒉𝒚𝒃𝒊𝒆𝒏́” is an interdisciplinary theatrical project prepared by a team of social artists associated with the Association of Theatre Educators. We are creating a story about the challenges of working in cultural institutions. We are voicing our opinions in the ongoing discussion about culture as a work environment, the precariat as the dominant form of (un)employment in culture, and about the conditions, hierarchies, and inconsistencies between the level of declared values and the level of implementation.
The script of the performance was created based on an original script written based on 9 in-depth interviews with employees of cultural institutions from various parts of Poland.
The performances will be accompanied by an exhibition of graphics by Katarzyna Belczyk, an illustrator who comments on challenges related to artistic work in a sharp and ironic way. Her character potato_face_stories has a loyal following on Instagram.
