MY HOME (Mój dom)

Tomasz Rodowicz, a former member of the Centre for Theatre Practices 'Gardzienice' and today the chairman of the' Chorea' theatrical association, speaks about his experiences of the home. The presented reflections concern primarily the expedition made in 1982 to Lapland together with the Gardzienice company, with some of the participants getting lost in the course of a foot trip across the vast empty spaces of the local tundra. The reader learns about a miraculously discovered hone - the small hut of a local reindeer farmer, the connected feeling of safety, and the fall of the Romantic myth of an artist compelled to struggle for survival. The author declares that all those experiences had to a great extent moulded his world outlook and the trends of his subsequent artistic quests.
