STRIPTEASE

by Sławomir Mrożek

Why do people choose conformism under various forms of pressure, even when what is happening is unclear?

Welcome to the locker room of obedience!

The action unfolds around two men who, for unknown reasons, find themselves in an undefined space under the pressure of an invisible authority.

The performance explores the paradox of human existence and non-existence: why and how people gradually give up their freedom due to fear, hopelessness, and helplessness, and how they attempt to justify the loss of dignity to themselves and others in order to rationalize wounded honor, damaged self-respect, and unprincipled obedience.

“Striptease” is both a warning and a rehabilitation of reality, wrapped in humor, absurd situations, and sarcasm, yet at the same time strikingly real, clear, and relevant.
