Komuna Warszawa

Komuna Warszawa is one of the most important independent avant-garde theatres in Poland. In its original, text-based works, Komuna Warszawa explores key issues of the contemporary world, ceaselessly seeking new forms and means of expression. Komuna Warszawa has taken part in some of the most important festivals in Poland and the world, performing at such venues as La MaMa in New York City, HAU in Berlin or 104Centquatre in Paris.

‘Body Parts’ is the outcome of a choreographic fascination with the face. The performance looks into both its anatomy and physiology and its ability to be an ever-changing image which generates meaning, emotion and identity. Traditionally, the face is considered to be the interface of a human being’s psyche and its discourse is charged with romantic phrases. Meanwhile, as with any other body part, its use and reception changes under the weight of history and specific cultural norms.
