The concept of staging this performance is accurate and evidence of its success- Maria Nowotarska takes on the role of the narrator, taking us into the depths of a poet’s life, She talks about her world and the people in it, about her thoughts and inspirations, while citing the poets own notes and journals. The story gains color and resonates thanks to Szymborska's poetry, executed masterfully by Agata Pilitowska. These poems are truly magical! They are profound, playful, and philosophical, taking on a fascination with our world, existence, and life. Few writers use language this way, crafting it into extraordinary phrases and creating vivid paintings in our imaginations that arouse the deepest emotions. Capturing our hearts and stirring our emotions, Agata Pilitowska's performing talent and precise diction allow us to discover these compositions anew from the volumes of this poetic literature.
