Rosemary

Roman Polanski's film “Rosemary's Child” from the late 1960s becomes for the artists of the BARAKAH Theatre an incendiary to explore the mechanisms of manipulation used to control individuals.

“Rosemary” is a play about a marriage in crisis, which moves to a new apartment in a luxury estate. He is a loser writer, known by one title, she is a professor of literature, living in the shadow of her husband. The “saviors” of our heroes turn out to be new neighbors, residents of Lux Moderna, filled with a desire to help. After a while, it's time to pay off the debt...

The director of the play Michał Nowicki asks what or who is Satan nowadays? How does manipulation and enslavement occur? Why can't a woman decide for herself and her body? Does it function in society as “public property”?
