Fantasia

Recenzje

• “A simple performance in its’s sophisticated simplicity. Insanely witty. At times – poignant. With the abstract “Fantasia” Anna Karasińska – author of the hit “Ewelina cries”, makes her comeback to TR Warszawa.”

  Witold Mrozek, Gazeta Wyborcza

• “Her austere shows still have what Polish theatre needs like air – unpretentiousness and a sense of humor. Additionally, “Fantasia” directly challenges audience’s imagination. While looking at the stage, they have to create a separate performance for themselves, create all that is not provided by the director, fill in the blanks in the heroes’ biographies – give them the past and the rest of their existence. They need to allow themselves to fantasize, as the title suggests.”

  Jacek Wakar, Onet.pl

• “Karasińska fantasizes with actresses and actors on all kinds of subjects – theatrical and non-theatrical. For example, Zofia Wichłacz is to become this girl, who sprays the timetables on your bus stop. Adam Woronowicz and Rafał Maćkowiak tell a weird story about a fishing excursion – twice. The only limitation of the theatre is the limit of our imagination – claim the producers and they are right, of course. Plasticity od a performance is based also on presenting something that one never even thought about. It’s the imagination that creates the theatrical fiction, and that’s where the creators of “Fantasia” come into play.”

  Piotr Morawski, Dwutygodnik.com

• “ Karasińska is following the footsteps of the creators of theatre of the absurd. The stage action is not an objective in itself but a prism that allows us to take a look at our everyday projections – at the way that we are experiencing the reality. Seemingly facetious character of the performance and our indifference towards the multitude of worlds – so fragmentary and fleeting – presented in “Fantasia” is in fact a stroll on a thin ice. That is exactly how we operate every day – zapping TV channels, scrolling Facebook posts. (…) An evening ritual of gliding across the global reality screen may be – like “Fantasia” – a kind of an attempt to return to oneself. It’s possible, that at that time, we do not watch the TV, per se, but rather observe the TV being watched, performing for ourselves the act of perception and understanding.”

  Zofia Smolarska, Teatr

• “’Fantasia’ consists of a multitude of micro-stories, singled out from everyday routines. While imagining some people or animals does not seem difficult, Karasińska does not stop there and proceeds with an attempt to imagine emotions and feelings. She paints their hues and colors very subtly, creating emotional landscapes in the audiences’ minds. She describes experiences that, seemingly, cannot be described.”

  Agata Kędzia, Reflektor

• “A stage idea to test the power of imagination, openness and communication skills with very limited resources is fresh, surprising and unique. Very humorous, intelligent, connotation-based. It provokes the imagination.”
