Joanna Targoń speaks to Maria Maj

How do you work on a performance like this? There was no text at the beginning, only improvisations?

The work was fantastic; the improvisations were fantastic. In the City of Dream (pol. Miasto Snu) , Krystian offered us this: first you, then me. We didn't know our roles yet, we came to the Pearl (pol. Perła), the City of Dream (pol. Miasto Snu), as ourselves. With his dreams and ideas after reading Kubin's book.

There was text?

No, it wasn't.

In the case of more than one interlocutor, we give the full name and surname for each speech, according to a formula

Your previous performances made me look at my opinions and emotions and check them carefully to see if they were somebody else's, imposed on me. I had a masochistic pleasure from it, but still I had a pleasure. At Courtney Love, you put me up against a wall in a completely different way. This time you're making me seriously ask myself questions that are usually postponed or simply denied in order to move on, essentials, personal, extremely uncomfortable and hurtful. It is difficult to get out of them and the pleasure is smaller. And no light in the tunnel.

MONIKA STRZĘPKA: Because it's a show born of depression. You have accurately describe it, Paweł. There was something about the depths... deepest, something about hell.... How did you say it?

PAWEŁ DEMIRSKI: But what exactly did I say?

MONIKA STRZĘPKA: If I could remember, I wouldn't ask you. And that's how we live here, when we retired in Wrocław. The 70th anniversary of grunge, a memory is not what it used to be.
