Obfitość

To have or not to be – is that the question or the answer?

Wealth becomes waiter and life is a restaurant, but is what you want always on the menu?

Obfitosc is not a story. It is not a tale of a rich man, and there are no images of poverty. It does not even try to excuse human greed. Here everything is simple, in one moment we have and in another we have not. Life is like that.

This little piggy went to market This little piggy stayed home. This little piggy had roast beef. This little piggy had none And this little piggy went wee wee wee, all the way home…

Poznan 23-24 November 2002

…this fairy tale and revue convention is often broken, derided, questioned, and deprived of artificiality… Everything revolves around the topic of possession presented in the context of other major sins. This very clever performance gives the impression of a somewhat ghastly fairytale for grown ups, where gentle tone transforms suddenly into seriousness and horror.
