Obsada
“ep” (sign language): 1. weird, unpleasant; 2. (to feel) uncomfortable.
“Ep” is the notation of a sign created by the Deaf community (of Warsaw), which has no equivalent in spoken language.
What is “weird,” who is “weird” and when? How do we determine that which is supposedly “normal” and that which deviates from the supposed “normal”? Is “weird” dangerous, or quite the opposite: is it a refuge for those who can’t express themselves in a different way? Why is “weird” perceived as a threat in society, while “normality” can be risky in theatre and contemporary art?
Ep is a play about the “weird,” about how groups of people can be strange to each other. And about seeking new languages of communication.
The point of departure for the play Ep was Kuba Krzewiński’s piece of the same title composed in 2018 for Deaf Poet Adam Stoyanov, bassist Łukasz Owczynnikow and for multimedia. This time, they are also joined by TR Warszawa actor Monika Frajczyk.
