Performance in Polish How can a hypersensitive person find his place in this cruel and unforgiving world? Feuerbach is a stream of fire. He is a powerful force that can be creative, but can also bring destruction. Feuerbach, the actor – the man who paid for his love of theatre with the destruction of his personality. Uncompromising. Striving towards the heights of artistic achievement, towards the primal and ultimate purity of mind. In the beginning was the word... A state of grace. Reach it once, and you won’t forget it. Harsh realities will not be the same again. When you return to them, you cannot expect to be understood by the dreamless. Feuerbach. The divine and infernal stream of fire. His strengths are dignity and sensitivity. Will they be enough for a man to endure any humiliation?...
