THE LAST SOLO OF K.
Lublin Dance Theatre
The performance is part of the official Opole Dance Stage 2025 program.
“Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness.
But I wouldn’t want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn’t want them back.”
~ Samuel Beckett, „Krapp’s Last Tape”
The piece is a type of constellation of the author and performer’s associations and references: to Samuel Beckett’s play and its main character Krapp listening to his old recordings created for every birthday during his life, to the title’s role of Tadeusz Łomnicki from the second half of 80’s of the XX century, and finally to the Performer’s first solo appearance in a piece choreographed by Hanna Strzemiecka in year 2000. After two decades from that solo performance called “DC 5861494” Ryszard Kalinowski is getting back to well-known scenes, pictures and memories. He is asking many questions for himself, “listening through his body” to his old video registration, having a dialogue with the picture on screen and creating a perspective of the next meeting with himself in the future…
for next 20 years.

„(…) potrafi rozśmieszyć, a nieraz też skłonić do refleksji. Działa jak dobrze skrojone kino gatunkowe, z rozwiązaniami z którymi teatr, moim zdaniem, mógłby częściej eksperymentować”.

“Silvia Gribaudi’s GRACES […] is an homage to the poetic powers of imperfection. […] Within the framework of theatrical convention, Gribaudi attempts to trigger a change in our perspective through a down-to-earth attitude, by offering entertainment and inviting us to have fun”
Jordi Ribot, Thunnissen in Movement exposed
“In a relentless succession of dances, tableaux vivants
and comic scenes, the quartet seeks (and obtains) at all
times the complicity of the spectator, involving him in
a eulogy of imperfection and individuality. […] Among
intended afterthought, self-mocking celebrations, lyrical
interludes and unsettling suspensions, the clear awareness
that “beautiful is the place where the gaze rests” rises.”
Emanuela Zanon, Juliet Art Magazine
“A mocking trip to the automatisms of our imagination. […] The choreography appropriates with freedom the most trite female and male stereotypes to debunk them with a queer spirit.”
Gerrge Voudiklaris, Artivist chief editor
