In a world where language is increasingly losing points of contact with the world outside language – ‘the world of facts’ – and the symbol is increasingly hollow (the best example of which, in the field of digital technology, is ‘emoticons’), the role of art, including theatre, is substantially transformed. This transformation involves abandoning story-telling as the theatre’s main focus, in favour of producing an image that transcends all description.

Roy Lichtenstein’s painting Drowning Girl and the first aria from Fausto Romitelli video opera An Index of Metals inspired the play. This collage of works by Tadeusz Różewicz, Heiner Müller, Tadeusz Borowski and T. S. Eliot embodies the theatrical concept (especially in the modern approach to acting) and corresponds with the musical idea of the dramaturgy that fuses the play’s composition. The significance of this combination of works and the way they operate as part of a whole emerges in each viewer’s individual interpretation process.
