The past few days have been filled with theatre! Lectures, meetings with "famous" masters of the theatre, and shows.
Can you guess which one is Tadasi Sukuki? I bet you can... His lecture was particularly fun... fun as in it took forever!
I'll explain. On Suzuki's right is his Japanese interpreter who spoke Japanese and Polish. On Suzuki's left is the Japanese to Polish interpreter, and on that man's left is the Polish to English interpreter. The lecture, an hour. The actual amount said, probably about a page. I still enjoyed his lecture, though, because of the necessitated straightforward approach of the topic.
Richard Schechner. He decided in the middle of his lecture to sit indian style. He was an interesting man, very Western in his manner and approach to the lecture.
A performance piece done in the mall after hours by the escalator.
It was in Spanish or Portuguese, so I didn't understand some of the story, but still very interesting to watch.
An avant garde piece done in a parking garage by a troupe from California. The piece was called The Internationalists, the troupe Poor Dog Theatre.
The man on the far right is Ludwik Flaszen, a director, literary critic and confidant of Grotowski. A very animated man who thinks a lot of himself... we left his lecture early.
The talented and charming man in the orange shirt is none other than Peter Brook. He was my favorite speaker thus far, and not just because he speaks English.
More sights from around the city...
Transition by Jerzy Kalina. Commonly called The Anonymous Pedestrians. These statues commemorate those who disappeared on December 13, 1981 with the introduction of Martial Law.
A popular billboard seen around the city and a salute to wiener dogs everywhere.
A table at the Empik Cafe. I <3>
View of Wroclaw from the bridge over the river.

There's definitely a gnome at the top of this picture... and don't worry, the gnome post is still coming. ;)
