The second -after The Dead Class- performance of Tadeusz Kantor's Theatre of Death refers back to his childhood spent in a small town in eastern Poland. In the play, the past and traces of memory exist in the present and bring back the characters of his ancestors. The artist turns his personal history into a dream-like reality of art. !Grandma, Mother, Aunts, Uncles, Father who came on holiday. These were real scenes. But suddenly this room becomes the Mount of Olives, Golgotha, Capernaum - various places related to the life of Jesus... And the characters from this room played the Gospel characters, lowered in their rank, in accordance with the rules of the Dear Absent Ones Rental Service".
