she media story2

One of the most important events of 18th edition of " MALTA" International Theatre Festival is a project of Izabella Gustowska "She - Ona. Media Story." The artist works in the area of different media. She is a custodian of exhibitions. She is also in charge of Multimedia and Performative Activities Studio at Poznan Academy of Fine Arts.




Izabella Gustowska about her project: "Media Story" is not the spectacle's dissected theatricality but rather the spied out life which is fragmentary, chaotic and insubordinate to any stage principles.

Because this is not theatre. It is the spectator who arranges his own media story from fragments, films, texts and monitoring. there are no acts there, but rather spaces becoming open to the audience where a careful observer can find the same or similar women - THEM. It might be a girl riding her bike or identical triplets - Kasia, Ewa and Magda, two roller skating students or a stranger with her accordion.

Because it is HIM - the spectator - who can omit uninteresting pictures or comments, he can move back to wait for a gesture, word or face of the stranger. HE will become the reconstructor, he can create his own media story, even when he is spied on by the camera that makes him part of media reality. "She-Ona. Media Story seeks the image of contemporary woman who's created by multimedia.
