Przybory Wasowskiego Dom Wyobraźni

The House of Imagination allows you to commune with beauty, with high art. Here, surreal conversations take place, songs are an explosion of emotions or an artistic display. However, the House of the Imagination is a possessive place. Those who stay here for a longer period of time are afraid to leave, because they gradually transform themselves into a collection of quotations and afterimages, often lose their own identity and can only communicate in the language of art. One can grow into the House of the Imagination and become part of it, like sculpted columns and dust-covered curtains. The house hides another, most important secret. It will only come to light at the end of the forthcoming Imagination Expansion Séance.

The script of the performance consists of dozens of songs and dialogue scenes written by Polish 20th century humorists Jeremi Przybora and Jerzy Wasowski. The whole forms a fictional story about five characters. The originally unconnected scenes form a coherent story, saturated with surrealism, absurdity, the grotesque, full of wit and surprising events. What is an employee who has noticed that 'gravity is decreasing' supposed to say to his boss? Or who exactly is the Saddener, a character who appears to overly happy people to tell sad and grotesque stories? What is the job of the Saddener, who deals with people who are too shallow in their approach to issues?
