COSmino ◊ performances • obfitość

http://www.cosmino.org/en/strony/obfitosc.htm

To have or not to be – is that the question or the answer? Wealth becomes waiter and life is a restaurant, but is what you want always on the menu? Obfitosc is not a story. It is not a tale of a rich man, and there are no images of poverty. It does not even try to excuse human greed. Here everything is simple, in one moment we have and in another we have not. Life is like that. Kuba Pierzchalski & Rachel Karafistan Direction, Concept & Scenography:. Kuba Pierzchalski & Rachel Karafistan Light & Sound:.

Dedicated to those who think and feel too much…. In a lonely haze of religion, guilt, confusion and laughter, a woman collects memories and faces the consequences of remembering. Sometimes it helps to be still and know, and sometimes it doesn't…. If you weren't mad when you came in here, you certainly will be if you ever get to leave. Olive, Winwick Psychiatric Hospital, UK. Rachel Karafistan. Direction:. Caroline Lena Olsson & Rachel Karafistan Original Music:. August 1998 – Coventry, England.

COSmino ◊ company

http://www.cosmino.org/en/strony/company.htm

Theatre is made up of three parts. One part was born in the east and the other was born in the west. One day the two parts met and the third part was created. This part is what we are, what we do and what we share…. The potential of an experience. The art of a dream. The beauty of pain. The fragility of happiness. COSmino is Kuba Pierzchalski and Rachel Karafistan. The company has been making theatre since 1998 and has been based in the UK and Poland and is now based in Berlin, Germany.
