Monika Strzępka verbally resigned from her position as director of the Dramatic Theater
The author of the novel “Heksy”, Agnieszka Szpila, distanced herself from Strzępka’s work on December 13. “For me, the author of the novel and co-author (with Anna Kłos) of the adaptation, the enormity of mental and emotional suffering suffered by the acting team recently is so devastating that I would not be able to watch this performance, forgetting what I saw and experienced together with with the band in recent days, participating in rehearsals in the theater,” we read on Facebook.
According to Wyborcza.pl, two actors resigned from work during rehearsals for the play – one of them was Michał Sikorski. In a statement for the portal, the artist declared that in the face of the events that took place during rehearsals in recent days, he felt that “it is not possible to continue working in conditions that deviate from the standards of a healthy, safe process.”
Szpila decided to side with the actors in the conflict. “I distance myself from the revolution preached by Monika Strzępka, who refers to my text, because in her version the HEX COVERAGE is a fake. Just like the entire revolution she preached. Monika Strzępka did not understand that you cannot destroy patriarchy without destroying what is patriarchal. first in yourself. This knowledge was lacking in the director and director, who is vocal about her feminist beliefs,” wrote the author of the novel on Facebook.
