JEDEM DAS SEINE. EIN MANIFEST is a performance which discusses the existinginequalities between men and women, but first and foremost the patriarchalorder of the world as a structural problem. Fascism and nationalisms, which arebeing revived around Europe and the world, instrumentalize women’s andchildren’s bodies again, exploiting them in a political war. The totalmanagement of the female body is the foundation of every kind of nationalistpopulism. Today, the political formations of the radical Right are built aroundslogans of “defending women.” It is our women and their bodies that must beprotected from barbaric hordes. From Others. Ultimately, women and children are the mosteffective ideological weapons today.

"This is a short, painful description of reality, which thrusts itself into the viewers’consciousness visually and acoustically, and will remain in their memory for along time due to its persistence."

The performance is presented on the 1st of November at Ringlokschuppen Ruhr in Müllheim and then heads to Utrecht (3rd of November). "HYMN TO LOVE" is performed on the 11th of November as part of Festival SENS INTERDITS at Théâtre des Célestins in Lyon. On the 15th and 16th of November, the performance is presented at Maillon, Théâtre de Strasbourg and on the 18th and 19th of November during the NEXT festival in Villeneuve d'Ascq. 

"HYMN TO LOVE" will be the first Marta Górnicka's work presented in Russia. The performance is presented on the 12th of December during Festival NET (New European Theatre) in Moscow. "HYMN TO LOVE" is performed in Warsaw on the 18th and 19th of December at the Powszechny Theater. 

The shows in Warsaw are co-financed by the Capital City of Warsaw.

On the Day of German Unity, in front of the BRANDENBURG gate, in a symbolic place that stands for unity and division, in front of a monument that evokes the division of the Germans into two blocs and two social systems, as well as their unification and establishment of a democratic state, Marta Górnicka puts the Basic Law to a performative test. STRESS TESTING (also known as ‘torture testing’) involves subjecting a tested object or material to extreme forces to test its strength, reveal the limits of safe use and the point of final failure. This concept, which comes from the fields of economics, computer science and medicine, defines borderline security procedures in all areas of life. A computer or heart is subjected to extreme workloads to see how long they can work. How much blood can your heart pump? When will the computer crash? What are the conditions in which a system fails, because the forces acting on it have exceeded its endurance limit?

‘I’m interested in the tension between law and violence ‒ the limits and durability of a consensus that protects us against violence and against seeing our opponent’s death as the ultimate way of resolving conflicts. This consensus can only be achieved in language. The words that are written into laws are supposed to guarantee disarmament. They literally knock weapons out of our hands and enable us to overcome the rule of violence. But words can also arm our opponents. Every act of genocide or systemic violence, every refusal of solidarity that brings death, are first effected in language.
German society today is deeply divided. Two different visions of community are clashing ‒ national and homogeneous versus open and diverse. A fight is waged with words and for words.
Whose vision ‘promotes world peace’? Who is ‘the nation’? Who forms ‘a majority’? Who is the citizen? Who is the alien? Who does this country belong to? Which GERMAN belongs to GERMANY? Who are ‘ALLE DEUTSCHEN!’?
By subjecting the Basic Law to stress testing, we test the maximum workload and capacity that its words can handle.’

The performance will feature actors of the GORKI THEATER, including the EXILE ENSAMBLE, children, people with Down’s syndrome, actors of the Ramba Zamba Theatre, members of the Berlin Seniors’ Association, refugees, sports fans, people with disabilities. 50 representatives of different religions, worldviews, languages and heritages.

DIE WURDE DES MENSCHEN IST TANZBAR!

Bring along a copy of the Constitution and read it with us in front of the Brandenburg Gate!
Join us for our performance at 3pm and then at TANZBAR DISCO opposite the home of the GORKI THEATER.

Opening of the festival WAR OR PEACE - CROSSROADS OF HISTORY 1918 / 2018.

The TRUTH is that this NATION let all of this happen. It let certain of its children, the chosen children, die, even though they were never its children, children of that nation. OK. So that makes it all right. And, anyway, it wasn't THIS country but THAT ONE: (high and low) GERMANY. And we don't know anything about it. WE DIDN'T SEE IT HAPPEN. Certain facts have been tailored to fit the story. And since it's only been a short time that we've had this country and this nation for OUR VERY OWN, we fight, fight to make it OUR country, our POLAND, ours and OURS ALONE.
So we can't afford to take in those Fugitives now, either. Oh, we simply can't allow that. We have a lot of room but it's not enough. We can't squeeze anything more in. We can love them when they're at home where they belong, and anyway it's those who are to blame who should help them first. Besides, they'd come and grab all the special offers on smartphones, and seize all the bargains and discounts.
And the thing about us Polish people is…
A GUEST IN THE HOUSE IS GOD IN THE HOUSE
…we sure do love low prices!

In HYMN TO LOVE, I've composed a monstrous “National Songbook” out of various versions of the national anthem, marches, patriotic songs, religious hymns and folk songs – our shared musical repertoire, so eagerly being mixed by the nationalist rappers of today: 'TIS A DAY OF BLOOD AND GLORY!
When working on this project, I was haunted by the image of the concentration camp orchestra, which played marches, German classical music, and tunes from prewar operettas. All the inmates were forced to sing along. Music played a part in the Holocaust. I am exploring the way songs were complicit in murder.
I believe that the CHORUS, as a figure of the community, can show the workings of the collective unconscious. Its song exposes the frightfulness of a community bound together by love of country: of a homeland exclusively for people like us. A homeland which is like a family that has to be kept safe and pure by eliminating all foreign bodies – other races, religions, sexualities. Such a love is a perverse fulfillment of the commandment “Love thy neighbour as thyself”! It inspires Champions of Purity/Saviours to fight for our right to love our neighbours, as long as they look just like us. “You must honour me for my seventy-seven victims,” Anders Breivik urges, “Actions like mine prevent a future civil war, which could result in the death of hundreds of thousands. I put the world in order. I come to heal.”
With a smile, Breivik insists he is completely sane, as the entire history of our civilization attests. He is right. How are we to respond to this horrific logic?

The choir will be made up of actors and actresses from Teatr Polski in Poznań and from The Chorus of Women, amateurs, children, adults with Down's Syndrome, and senior citizens.

Here is the committee’s statement in its entirety:

“The aesthetics of the young Polish director’s work was shaped, among others, by the collaboration with Robert Wilson. The director created an original concept of modern choral theater, mainly women’s. It is a theatrical formula in which she employs an original method of vocal and actor training. Marta Górnicka has received numerous awards – recently, she received a Fast Forward festival prize at the Staatstheater Braunschweig. It was there that she developed the performance (M)OTHER COURAGE – an impressive, linguistically perfect work, involving six actresses and seventeen amateurs, and discussing the topic of war. It is an example of a new theatrical form that engages amateurs. The linguistic aspect of the performance deserves special attention, as it is often considered to be a potential weak point of working with non-professionals The performance demonstrates how foreign artists are able to enrich German theater. It also directs our attention to the director herself, whose art meets much controversy in her own country due to the current political situation there, and whose social involvement in this light is all the more commendable.”

The audition will take place on September 25th and 26th, from 10:00 a.m. until 8.00 p.m., in Teatr Polski.

For the audition, please prepare:
- your favourite song;
- two sentences about Poland – a true sentence and one that best represents your hopes and dreams for the country;
- a patriotic song or a love song;
- an advertisement for Polish people.

In your applications, entitled “HYMN MIŁOŚCI – casting”, please enclose a cover letter (explaining why you would like to participate), a photograph and a bio (name, date of birth, profession, place of residency, e-mail address, telephone number). With your applications and any questions you may have, please contact Agnieszka Różyńska: agnieszka.rozynska@teatr-polski.pl until September 22nd.

CHORAL THEATER – is an original modern theatrical form created by Marta Górnicka. Working on each project is experimental and processual. The scores are collages of cultural texts that raise vital social and political issues.

“THE HYMN TO LOVE” is part of Marta Górnicka’s European triptych, opened by the premiere of “MOTHER COURAGE WON’T REMAIN SILENT. A CHORUS FOR WARTIME” in Israel (November 2014). The second part, entitled “M(OTHER) COURAGE”, was staged by Górnicka at the Staatstheater Braunschweig in Germany (September 2015).

Warsaw, 10 April 2016

Dear Society,
How are you? How are you doing? We are asking because your life has recently accelerated a great deal. A lot has been going about you. As you know, in theatre we often address you and talk about you a lot. And even we speak on your behalf. A lot of words have been revolving around you with an ever greater velocity, load and striking distance. The Polish-Polish war for words, so they say.
HOMELAND, TRUTH, NATION, CITIZEN, ENEMY, PATRIOT, TRAITOR, EVERYONE. Polemicists stand on opposite sides and shoot because you cannot talk with ammunition.
Whose "Polish values" are Mine? or Yours? What is taking freedom away from us? Is there any US?
We want to ask you about it, Society. We want to ask about it in the theatre.
So this time WE ARE INVITING YOU onstage to read the Constitution.

CHORUS OF POLES:
(solo)
The Republic of Poland is a commonwealth (CHOIR) of ALL citizens.
The Republic of Poland is a commonwealth (CHOIR) of ALL citizens.
EVERYONE shall respect the freedoms and rights of (solo) OTHER (solo) OTHER (solo) OTHER (solo) OTHER OTHER OTHER OTHER OTHER. OTHER OTHER OTHER OTHER. OTHER OTHER OTHER OTHER. OTHER OTHER OTHER OTHER. OTHER OTHER OTHER OTHER. OTHER OTHER OTHER OTHER. OTHER OTHER OTHER OTHER ....

The colours of the Republic of Poland are white and red
-WHITE
-RED
-WHITE
-RED
-WHITE
-RED
WHITE! RED! INVINCIBLE! COLOURS! - somebody in the CHOIR sings in an operatic fashion and somebody a football fan fashion.

What do you think, Society? Fun, huh? Words are there to be spoken .
Will you drop by? Let's talk.
And if you do not want Homeland? Then add some spice and eat it;)

In the judging panel's verdict we can read that "Marta Górnicka directs a choral production based on a long-forgotten classic by Brecht and creates a monster-choir; this choir helps us come to terms with the contemporary world”.

"For the artists taking part in Transitions 3 the theatre is above all else a political act. They have experienced the abrupt shift to ‘unfettered capitalism’ and the free market at first hand, and their theatre plays an active role in –and adopts a clear stance on– the public discourse on social, ideological and economic issues." said the Artistic Director of the Transitions Festival, Katia Arfara.

During the festival, Marta Górnicka will lead the workshop - vocal and acting voice/body training session according to her own method.

The debate "Is there religious censorship in Poland?" will take place after the performance. Edwin Bendyk, Rev. Andrzej Draguła, Izabela Kowalczyk i Ewa Majewska will take part in the conservation about freedom of speech and artistic freedom of expression

The production is part of a triptych which begins with the production "MOTHER COURAGE won't remain silent. A CHORUS FOR WAR TIME" involving the participation of a chorus of sixty mothers and children of Jewish and Arab origin, along with Israeli soldiers-dancers. Its première took place on 13 December 2014 in the space of the Museum of Modern Art in Tel Aviv. The performance inaugurated the promotion of Polish theatre abroad, associated with the celebration of the 250 years of public theatre in Poland. Another part of the triptych will be created in 2016.

In MOTHER COURAGE, an obscene public chorus is established. It is obscene as it provides voice to those who should be mute: mothers, immigrants and children. And it is the voice of the generation of conflict in GERMANY and EUROPE. EUROPE of the madness of neo-nationalist language, conflict, prejudice, fear and violence. The CHORUS asks questions about the understandable anxiety and irrational fear, about the Strangers, refugees in Germany and in Europe; about the reality full of violence and absurdity; about the brutal clash of human attitudes.

Snippets of military marches (Wenn die Soldaten), love songs, quotes from "Mother Courage" and "Fatzer" become signs of different directions. Texts from newspapers or from works by Jelinek, Heiner Müller, Habermas, sociological texts, children's counting-out rhymes, songs by Schubert, quotes from the Bible, national classics and fragments of Nazi marches: the CHORUS uses them to ask what about those who no longer have the strength to bear reality in contemporary Europe? In Germany? What is their reality? What is a phantasm, and what is real? Where is the "truth"? There is no history beyond war – says Brecht. Towards whom is war waged today?

Marta Górnicka:
To me, MOTHER is a whole constellation of different options which I activate on stage: a woman, a man, a voice from the computer, Germany, Europe, Merkel. And, finally, the Mother or M(other). Today, her children are dogs, Jews, Arabs, immigrants, homosexuals, mute Catherines. All those who are excluded. All those who are trying to be Courage. And those who no longer have the strength to bear reality. Those who do not pay off. For no one. But they cry "MOTHER!". Yet, these are also "wicked" children, nationalists, violent hooligans. Is it possible to find room in Mother's cart for these millions of children today? A MOTHER is weeping over her child – the nation – who is making mistakes again, it is never perfect. But, again, she gives birth to another son, another daughter, whom she sends to the war... For me, MUTTER is a vehicle through which I try to talk about the brutality of today's world, about how inhuman a human can be, how history comes full circle.

And, finally, GERMANY as a mother. A NATION in the middle of EUROPE. A big body lying in the middle of Europe. A replicating body - a NATION. A mother who declares: "I am ready to accept everyone, but also to spit them out".

In this project, Marta Górnicka, the author of a new form of chorus theatre, brings her research to the space of particularly understood social theatre direction. She invites groups functioning in radically conflicted communities to participate in the performance, and she works with them creating a possibility to express extreme affections and enable direct interaction between those who are usually separated by an invisible barrier. It’s no longer about reproduction of conflict or mechanisms of its expansion on a stage but about revealing it in its full intensity and deadly collisions. And, despite all that, to find an opportunity to create a joint work that will speak in many languages and in one human voice at the same time.

The chorus, which is formed in the course of such work, gives a chance to transform fatal antagonisms into agonism revealed on stage. It allows people divided by irreducible differences to stand next to each other, people who, by the very fact of cooperation in the domain of voice and body recognize the legitimacy of those whom policies define as "enemies".

The point also is to ask a radical question about social effectiveness of art versus the most difficult challenges of the modern world. And by asking, at the same time to make an effort to transform art into a tool for crossing constantly increasing hostility attitudes in societies.

Who is Mother Courage today? Who are the women in a system of war and conflict? In the location where one of the world's biggest conflicts takes place, the Chorus will speak: we will hear the words like bullets, combined with singing and songs for children.

The Chorus will speak against the images of "conflict", "other", and "enemy", born in an usurped language. In this surreal world of war, where violence is cropped, one doesn't know any more what is "violence" and what is "defence," what are "lives at risk" and what are "valuable lives", what is an "act of terror" and what is a defence against this act, who is a "friend" and who is the "enemy"?

Will war as a "business" will be reproduced indefinitely? Am I not "human enough"? - one of the mothers asked. Who is "more human": an Arab or a Jew? "As long as we see a human being in the other person, in this and only in this way will we stop the madness?" Robi Damelin, an Arab mother, asks.

There, where it seems that there are no more voices - we'll try to speak.

There, where one can only be afraid of words - we'll sing.

MOTHER is an extreme project. The Arab and Jewish women whom I met are wise, brave. During the rehearsals, they cry out as if they were singing. They sing as if they were crying out (…) Together, we will ask what a human being is.

“MAGNIFICAT" by a Polish director Marta Górnicka received the main prize on the second edition of European Festival for Young Stage Directors "Fast Forward" that ended the Sunday's night in Staatstheater Braunschweig.

"MAGNIFICAT” is a performance that showed us the exceptional way of work with the chorus theatre. In Marta Górnicka interpretation chorus commits the act of emancipation. This is not homogenous group, but vivid, noisy organism, composed of memorable individuals." - this is the quatation from statement of the Festival's jury, consisting of: Beatrix Bühler - curator of Swiss "Auawirlaben" festival, Paolo Magelli – theatre director from Italy, Christian Rakow - theatre critic (Nachtkritik) and Joachim Kleoment – general director of Staatstheaters Braunschweig. „MAGNIFICAT” competed with seven other realizations from six european countries.
