"Supermarket and National Voodoo"

"But belief doesn’t matter. What’s important is to listen. What’s important is to gather together and stand next to one another, because this is the one thing to be done."

The performance "Supermarket and National Voodoo" is a spontaneous, theatrical and musical interpretation of Andrzej Stasiuk’s text "Diary Kept Afterwards" (2011). The sung, spoken and rapped text is a vehicle for an ironic take on describing post-communist Polish reality, where national myths mix with a consumerist way of life.

"Similar to Stasiuk’s text, the performance is a voyage through characteristic contemporary Polish places and situations such as Marian’s sanctuary in Licheń, a funeral march, a rally, a queue in a railway station, a promotion in a commercial gallery, or a disco and Sunday mass.

Through these cinematic scenes accompanied by oberek, hip-hop and techno rhythms, the voice of a generation which experienced the reality of communism (and was the first to be forced to overcome predatory capitalism, consumerism and globalization) tears through".
