Tadeusz Różewicz's "The Trap," written in 1979, is an attempt to reconcile the author with the spiritual and cultural heritage of the 20th century. The key to this reconciliation was the biography of Franz Kafka. We note how relevant this text remains despite the passage of time, and we wish to draw particular attention to disturbing, recurring patterns. "The Trap" is, above all, the story of a lost man, immersed in inevitable suffering, repeatedly falling into the traps set by himself—his body, history, and those closest to him. Franz sacrifices himself, his time, his life, and his health on the altar of literature. He sacrifices himself... But is the "sacrificial lamb" not actually a beast?

The show is co-financed from the budget of the Łódź Voivodeship Government.
