“Sam” means “alone” in Polish. Maria Wojtyszko’s play offers the fresh perspective of the contemporary Polish theatre, dealing with the problems of an adolescent whose parents are going through a difficult divorce. The grotesque family history asks all the relevant questions about the possible new role of religion in modern society and the chances of survival of the traditional family model.
In the poetic vision of director László Bocsárdi, the play reconstructs the wandering thoughts of an adolescent through 27 scenes about a lonely boy who faces the crazy comedy of his parents’ divorce. The play is part of a series that Bocsárdi inaugurated with multimedia show “Alice”, whose aim is that of exploring the existential confusion that adolescents have to go through at the beginning of the 21st century, their rebellion, passions, revelations, as well as fears and trauma.
