In her latest project, choreographer Ramona Nagabczyńska takes on the subject of the phenomenon of performing on stage itself.

At the meeting of an anonymous group therapy, performers invited by Nagabczyńska will tell their intimate stories and confide what they risk by going on stage, what they are willing to sacrifice for it, and how far they are prepared to go in order to be noticed and watched. And finally, what addiction stage constitutes and is it possible, or are they even willing, to recover from this addiction.

The therapy convention showcases various relationships with the stage and the performance: incessant vacillation between love and hate, fiction and truth, endless attempts to “recover” from the addiction and complete immersion in it.

The essence of Performers Anonymous is navigating around the questions about the truth, both on stage and beyond it. Do we perform for others in our daily lives? Does a “truth about us” even exist? Is theatre reality, or is it rather reality that is constant theatre we cannot live without?
