Actors' Proposal Stage - "A TREATISE ON SHELLING BEANS"

"A Treatise on Shelling Beans" is a proposal by Emilia Nagórka, actress of the "Witkacy" Theatre, presented as part of the Actors' Proposal Stage. The event will take place on December 27, 2026 at 7:15 PM on the Atanazy Bazakbala Stage (AB) at the St. I. Witkiewicz Theatre in Zakopane. The source text references a fragment from Wiesław Myśliwski's book "A Treatise on Shelling Beans": "The first light is completely different from when it shines here and there. And there are living lights and dead lights. Those that only shine, and those that remember. That repel and invite. That look and do not recognize. That even if they shone the brightest, are blind. And those that barely glow, yet see all the way to the end of life. There are no boundaries, time, space for them. They are able to recall the most ancient memory, even if squandered or even when a person has been disinherited from it. Memory is such a light flying to us from a long-extinguished star. Except it's not always able to reach us in our lifetime. It depends on what distance it flies from and what distance we are from it. Because these are not equal distances. And maybe everything is memory after all?" The premiere of the performance took place on August 12, 2023 on the A. Bazakbala Stage at the Witkacy Café.
