The strange case of a dog at night

There are profanities in the play.

“Bartłomiej Olszewski plays the role of the main character, creating with great sensitivity and without the often exaggerated appearance of an autistic boy. A touching and funny performance, with which the director shows the agency of people to whom it is often taken away. Great minimalist scenography by Marika Wojciechowska”. Anna Piatkowska, Cracow Gazeta

“The show is more intimate, raw, almost laboratory — and at the same time, it is precisely because of this cool, disciplined tone that it gains authentic power of impact. The form proposed by the director — clearly structured scenography, limited colour palette, exquisitely thought out lighting and digital projections based on numerical motifs — does not suppress emotions. On the contrary, it allows them to sound pure, unsentimental, even transparent. The director shows that it is possible to talk about difference without moralizing and without manipulating emotions. In her performance, otherness is not stylized or simplified, but neither is it made a source of tragedy. It is simply present — as something real, requiring understanding, not pity. As a result, the viewer does not feel compelled to sympathize — but to empathize.” Wiesław Kowalski, Theatre for All

“For fear of paternalization, I will not write what follows from The Strange Case of the Dog in the Night Time Science. Much more important for me is the function of the theater proposed by Biziuk. A friend of mine once came up with the idea of calling such projects — tender, intimate and touching — “theater that hugs.” That's what this show is for me.” Marcelina Widz, polunima.pl
