Cesarskie cięcie – Kamila Klamut i Ditte Berkeley

Caesarean Section, the stunning hour-long work from Poland’s Teatr Zar ... is a mediation on suicide. ... it’s about the impulses that push us toward despair and the compensations that pull us back from capitulation ... It is a gut-wrenching, primal, non-literal piece with a capacity to disturb that seems to seep right into your bones. First and foremost, this is not just a movement-driven exploration of one’s inner demons. The piece is suffused ... with harmonic, polyphonic music.
