NYC: I Like America
|
|
We
come to America in 2002, one year after September 11 and one year before
the Polish people could join the United Europe and return to normality for
the first time since the nazi troops attacked Poland (1939), starting World
War II. After Hitler destroyed our world, the Yalta Agreement divided Europe
for 47 years, displacing nations from our homelands and giving permission
for the extending of another totalitarian system onto East and Central Europe.
We use in our performance a very simple story about the nazi pilot, well
known in history of art, some pictures, American flag, some small things
and two dogs (toys) as metaphor of warm feelings and as a hope for the future
without military aggression and the actions of redemption from the people
(maybe).
