OUTDOORS - with IOTA Theatre in European homelands 2009
Pod gołym niebem - Outdoors 2008 in polish only
We are carrying out a project "OUTDOORS - with IOTA Theatre in European homelands".
In years 2008 - 2010 we will travel through the countries of the European Community with a theatre presentation.
In 2009 it will happen between the 27th August and 05th of October; our artistic travel: Poland, Holland, Belgium, Luxemburg, France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland.
Our desire is to wander through small cities, to make theater performances for people who live far from global noise, for those whose lives are not captured by a schedule of some race, but filled with a meaning of values forged through centuries. Values that accurately symbolise well known but sometimes forgotten questions:

WHERE DO WE COME FROM? WHO ARE WE? WHERE ARE WE GOING?
We want to meet with people who do not take cultural succesion as a workbook
or media slogan, because they live breathing familiar air, because they pace the land that belongs to them, because they talk to and work for people that they have personal relationship with they live in their cultural eco-system.
After many years of working and living in big municipal agglomerations (including also private and professional visists in various world centres) we decided to move to a small village Radzie (near Giżycko) in the Mazury region, the land of our childhood.
Now we know that the centre of the world is located inside each of us. This is what we want to talk about through our plays.
Our project is suppported by Minister of Culture and National Heritage in Poland , Warminskie-Mazurskie Voivodeship, The Society of Social Initiative of Wydminy County, Giżycko County.
Some info: Giżycko district - 58000 inhabitants, Wydminy commune 7000, Radzie village 100.
Info about spectacle OUTDOORS
Life of the man captured by the maxim "from ashes to ashes"- transmigration from birth to death concerns all of us. All of us referred to in German as Jedermann or in English as Everyman.
Of all the dramatic devices in the spectacle, pantomime is prevalent. This allows to tell the man's story in a universal language of gesture, and that of actor's body changing its expression through the movement of joints and muscles, a stone frozen body of the performer. These momentary cessations of movement are boundaries dividing the related life's story, they constitute punch lines of its consecutive stages. This led by the actor's thought and emotion. Word appears as a fragment in collision with continues until the last immobilisation, which demands the final word, or perhaps the first?
After all, what brings an End, does also give a Beginning... All text:
"I am - I pace the earth,
Soon I will say "I walk on the earth"
But now I still pace and it's the most important thing I do
It's not the most pleasant one, a lot of bruises make a proof, but still most important
I am, I pace and every moment I see the earth from above
From time to time I try to fly
Without effect, every time I try the earth hits me on the face, most often on the forhead
It hurts but still I try to fly, I don't know why
The fact of pacing makes me proud too much
I am, I wonder where from. All the explanations I got do not satisfy me
I will think it over later on...
The time passes by... I pace, I walk, I run, I speed and I try to fly,
I know it's impossible to fly, but I still try
I doesn't hurt any more, it is a jump, it is a flight it is ... beautiful and sad
'Cause I always come back to the place of origin,
I try and I try again, why?
Is there a reason I do not know that makes me try?
What is the REASON? Who has got the REASON?
Sometimes I lay on the earth and listen ; Nobody, Nothing...
Who? What? The earth whose earth? For whom the earth? Why the earth?
Who am I that I don't know what, I don't know who.
I will think it over later on...
The time passes by, I lay on the earth
Mother Earth...The Earth of Sweat and Labour...The Earth that Feeds us...
The Earth of the hungry and the well-fed...
The Earth the treasure of ancestors and future generations...
The Earth that's mine, never yours...The Earth that makes it impossible to fly from...
The Earth Everything is Mine...
What words and deeds you can put on someone
Like a festive attire, like a stone tied to your neck,
It is interesting what a man can be used for...I will think it over later on...
The time passes by, I still walk and walk along
There is no such a thing like a flight
But I still walk, I choose a direction and I go.
When the direction disappears or it is not so clear any more, which is the same more or less,
I choose new direction;
So many directions, so many worlds, but still one insignificance is enough.
It doesn't matter, I still walk. Why? Where?
I will think it over later on...
The time passes by I fly!
Finally I Fly.
Finally a purpose and the birth of the sense of direction
I don't know when I will think it over...Later"
