The starting point for Wojtek Ziemilski’s latest performance, which can be called a documentary performance, was the illness he has been struggling with for eight years. Ziemilski examines the absurdity of his condition, tests the limits of his imagination, and laughs at romanticizing it. It’s unclear when the process the audience experiences is a serious confrontation with his frailty and when it becomes a parody.

Wojtek Ziemilski is a theatre director and visual artist. He has made a fair number of theatre performances of which “One Gesture” about sign languages were the ones that received the most attention.
