Angélica Liddell: od psychoanalizy do polityki – i z powrotem

This article aims to introduce the Polish public to the work of Angélica Liddell, one of the best-known faces of European theatre in recent years. While the artist has been professionally active since the late 1980s and has created (as a playwright, director and main actress) a few dozen original performances, for most of her stage life she has been saying the same thing: that the only truth worth knowing is the truth coming from our unconsciousness. And although there have been times in her career when she turned her attention to the outside and made political theatre, she eventually resumed probing the depths of the human psyche, where she traces repressed content with a verve that would make Freud himself proud. And, much to our bafflement, brings it out into the open.
