Every word from the stage was written by Olga Tokarczuk – informs Michał Zadara, giving the floor to the Nobel Prize winner. His performance, just like the Booker-awarded book, eludes easy genre classifications. It is an embedded narrative, a story within a story, within a story, a scenic essay about people in motion who never stop, an attempt to grasp the elusive sense of the journey and its psychology. A new classic of the new era – this is how Michał Zadara describes Tokarczuk's work. And as before with Mickiewicz, Słowacki, Sophocles, the authors of the Bible, he deals with it. As always, on his own terms.
