Magdalena Rigamonti: Can you tell which line program on culture is present power?
Andrzej Seweryn : Yes. I know that the line has a theater, which I direct. So I continue my job, being fully responsible for the institution, which is the Polish Theatre in Warsaw, and the people who work in it. A government appoints and has the right to talk to the artists, to share their thoughts. What is wrong with that? I guess that is to be only award money. Power is also society, representatives of the society. If we operate social money, what the problem is, that people knew what the money is spent? I obviously do not agree with the government, when intervenes, ordering something or prohibiting something. But I can talk at the same time, dialogue … Why you can not argue with the power of work? Why? I do not understand.
Please forgive me, but I have the feeling that what you say is conservative. I wonder if you have already met with Prime Minister Gliński.
Ms. rigorous evaluation of my attitude surprises me grieve. Nothing in my life, including the last six years in Poland, no indication to judge me as walking on a power bar. It was not so for the previous and it is not so today.
Until recently, you were by right considered to be the Main Gauche, a liberal. So the right-wing media dubbed all who supported Bronislaw Komorowski.
I also know that some people thought I was “a traitor to the Polish nation.” I sued the process. I do not wish me to be insulted. I’m an actor, theater director, a civil servant and my role is to be in politics in the release party. I do not fight for power. Polish theater is funded by the Marshal’s Office Mazowiecki. Financial problems province known for years hinder our work. Premier Glinski in his speech to the Sejm said that those with the power not agree ideologically, will not be overlooked in the allocation of funds.
So you also.
I hope that the ministry will be co-financed our theater next year, as this is done for years in the Polish Theatre in Wroclaw, Gdansk Coast Theatre in Theatre. Jaracz in Olsztyn or in Wierszalin.
Do you remember when the government ordered the blocking issue play “Death and the Maiden” in Polish Wroclaw.
remember.
Do not you protest.
Please come to Polish in Warsaw. This is what is happening here, it testifies about my relation to freedom, to democracy, to art, to culture. I dreamed of the theater, which will be a place of debate. I fulfill that dream. Held here meetings in the series Theology Theatre, lectures, university faculty Artes Liberales, debates Oxford, as well as those organized by the Association of Open Republic, discussion forums, meetings with students, mornings philosophy for children, and a new series of educational School Attendance carried out under the slogan “You are spectator? Or creator. ” Place in our repertoire also found “fire in a brothel”, will be exhibited one-act plays Mrozek. In one of them will Jacek Fedorowicz. I said that in the theater things happen difficult to qualify for those that could attest to the fact that I am in good terms with any authority.
I did not say that you are in good terms.
You know, there was already that greater courage is a saying that you can discuss with the authorities and that this discussion has nothing abnormal than to protest against it. I am a democrat, and in a democratic state law gives the government the possibility of the appointment or removal of directors. After my appointment is not subject to some referendum. On the other hand, to quote Paul Demirski of expression in TVN24: “When you need to find a coach of football club Barcelona, does the competition for this position.” Similarly, the appeal of that coach. In football, the criteria are simple, not like in the life of the theater. Not simple it all.
ALL TALK In FRIDAY’S STOCK DGP
