“...run, run, the pangs in your chest is all that’s yours.” K . Miłobędzka
I’m Running is yet another performance which reflects on identity formation in adults with disabilities, continuing from the previous I'm Scared of Your Ever-Larger Shoes, staged in 2022. Exploring the domain between insatiable adulthood and the possibilities of actualizing it, the actors:
- pose questions:
How to run when your ever-larger shoes are weighing you down?
How to come to terms with the death of a friend?
How to deal with anger?
- ask:
no bad-mouthing please
hug another
- shout out loud:
I want to start a family!
I want to decide!
I want!
Natalia sings: “I'm scared of My ever-larger shoes.”
Magda says: “A doll lets itself be rocked around by everybody. I won't let myself be rocked around like that. Doll has no right to her opinion. It's sad that she can't decide whether she wants to be rocked around or looked after."
In addition to their own experience, the creators of the performance were also inspired by the poetry of Krystyna Miłobędzka.
