“20 DEN” is a puppet monodrama inspired by the award-winning book “Bezmatek” by Mira Marcinów. It is an extremely intimate story about the mother-daughter relationship — a complicated relationship, not always easy, but always leaving behind a poignant void. The show is faced with the experience of loss, but also with the love, dependence, tenderness and anger inscribed in this bond. It is an attempt to face the breakdown of this relationship and the question of identity built on its absence.

Fig. Krzysztof Kapiński

“When I was little and my mother was crying, I would say to her, 'Don't cry, because I'm going to cry too. ' And we cried together. When I was twenty-three, I said to her, “Don't die, for I will die too.” But, as you know, this did not happen. When your mother dies, it feels like your insides — those from your chest — are being ripped out with your bare hands, and a little worse.”
— Mira Marcinów, Motherless
