Enigmatic Variations

Drama? Comedy? Comedy-drama? There is a little bit of everything in Schmitt's art. And what is the theme of art? It's like a simple matter. In a lonely villa on an empty island under the Arctic Circle lives a bitter freak, an outstanding writer, a Nobel laureate.One day a journalist appears on the island wanting to interview him.Against the invisible background of an increasingly heated conversation, an abandoned woman appears, who at the same time divides and unites the heroes.

We sit in the audience like at a tennis match. Who will win this exciting duel? There is no question of boredom even for a second. Where two guys fight over one woman, only sparks fly. And when such seasoned professionals as Krzysztof Tyniec and Grzegorz Damięcki play stage tennis, just watch and admire.
