“Komornicka. The Ostensible Biography” is a “theatrical investigation” of Maria Komornicka's bio. Maria Komornicka (1876-1949) was a Polish modernist writer, who has lived over half of her life as a mannamed: Piotr Włast.
After many years of the oblivion, Maria Komornicka was redescoverd, and automatically has become an icon of the Polish feminist criticism. Once more, the authors of the performance, try to solve the mystery of her life, beyond the dichotomy of the “mad woman” and the “saint. They investigate Komornicka’s biography and legend to challenge the canonical interpretations and bring attention to such topics as: performativity of one’s identity, ambivalence of madness, and creation of the artistic myth.
Maria Komornicka’s character will be performed by Anita Sokołowska, the actress of the Polski Theatre in Bydgoszcz.
