“Two Rooms”

The “Two Rooms” action is an interdisciplinary event dedicated to the Litzmannstadt Ghetto. We point out those areas of its topography which, due to their painful, ambiguous history, are forgotten or ignored in silence. We mark out those areas of the history of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto that so far have only been present in archives. Being does not approach us as a whole, but through existential specificity, meaningful particles (...). How something exists breaks the silence of being and calls for our understanding. And perhaps it also helps us understand ourselves (...). We try to address these issues through performative action. We tell the stories of people who spent a part of their lives in the Łódź ghetto. We're trying to sketch the past from memory. Such a drawing is like pointing dual attention to what comes from the past (and in this process it is sometimes made public) and attention to oneself, to whom it comes in private. The value of these drawings is highlighted by the fact that it was possible to link and interweave the private and the public, the understood and the intuitive, the remembered and the felt. The main axis of the narrative are the memories of Halina Elczewska, who survived the war.

Ewa Łukasiewicz is a graduate of the Faculty of Acting at the National Film, Television and Theatre School in Łódź. Co-founder and co-creator of the Szwalnia Theatre in Łódź. Within the scope of the theatre’s activity, she seeks her own creative language, engaging in various educational projects, including therapeutic and artistic ones. In her activities she works on issues from the borderline of performing arts, visual arts, documentary and reportage, working with individual and collective memory (including the memory of the place), working with the space as well as cultural, social and political contexts.

Weronika Fibich works on the borderline of performative arts, reportage and documentary. Director of theatre performances/performative activities, interdisciplinary artist, documentary filmmaker and creator of numerous artistic projects. She has been associated with the Kana Theatre Centre since 1998. Apart from cultural, educational and programme-based activities conducted as part of the Centre's projects, she has been pursuing her own creative path for many years. The scope of her interests includes activities carried out in a non-theatrical space, on the border of private and public life. The topic she discusses the most frequently is the notion of borderland, exclusion, memory and identity.
