ABOUT

The new theatrical project by Andrzej Szczytko is based on "The Card Index" by Tadeusz Różewicz. The play portrays a man, Protagonist, who doesn't want to participate in the ongoing show. The Protagonist sounds rather bored as if he doesn’t feel like talking, a bit amused but above all ill-disposed to the play and himself and amused. Różewicz's initial intention was that the Protagonist was supposed to say only three words...

The Card Index consists of two images: the internal emptiness of the Protagonist and a flood of phenomenae, people and objects that flows through his room. No other play has changed the face of European drama to the degree that The Card Index has. Since it first premiered its formal novelty has never lost perspicuity, nor has the complicated, firmly Polish subject-matter hindered the play from entering stages abroad. There is nary a season when The Card Index is not published or staged somewhere in the world.
