"Work often becomes our identity. So who are we when we lose it? I also wanted to explore how we cope with workaholism, overwork, and stress. That’s why I turned to Alexander Lowen’s exercises and Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication, trying to peek into the gap: what if it doesn’t help?" — said Monika Jarasińska, director of the play “Spinal Curvature”, in a broadcast on Channel Two.
The office. Each employee fights for survival and promotion. In the stifling atmosphere of tension and uncertainty, everyone puts on masks to appear perfect. Fear of the boss and of losing one’s job forces moral compromises, while workers, overwhelmed by anxiety, allow themselves to be humiliated just to achieve the desired success.
A theme drawn from real life
The creators of “Spinal Curvature: An Evening for People with Postural Defects” explore toxic mechanisms in the workplace.
"When we decided to prepare this play, most of us were employed and moving through the corporate world. Coming to rehearsals, we carried with us this emotional baggage from work. And our director, Monika Jarasińska, was precisely looking for a relevant topic," explained actress Eva Pietrak.
Actors without mail, but with a debut
The play is based on a text by German playwright Ingrid Lausund. This is the debut production of the theater group “Actors Without Mail.” On Sunday, February 23, “Spinal Curvature: An Evening for People with Postural Defects” will be performed at the Museum of Free Belarus in Warsaw.
