Tonight we went to see the play "A wonderful therapy".
A seemingly lively satire on couples who resort to therapy to save their relationship, is a mirror for analyzing one's own life...
Kamil Maćkowiak and the actors working in his theatre are at the highest technical level, and the whole performance is a real pleasure to watch.
Laughing at the quarreling spouses - we often laugh at ourselves.
Description of the play:
Joanna (Paulina Chruściel) and Wiktor (Kamil Maćkowiak) have been married for a dozen or so years. They have two children, lead a stable and... fairly predictable life. They are typical representatives of the middle class, they have no financial problems, and to an outside observer their life might seem idyllic. Unfortunately - as is the case with marriages with many years of experience - they are a harmonious team only during arguments. Once very much in love, today they feel emotionally burned out and frustrated. They agree on one thing: the spouse is to blame for the breakdown of the relationship. Tired of unsuccessful attempts to overcome the crisis, they finally end up in therapy. A wonderful therapy. The play's brilliant perversity, in keeping with the principle of "physician, heal thyself", shows that the personal life of the therapist (Mariusz Słupiński) is just as entangled as the lives of his patients... How will the emotionally unstable doctor, who has just reached a turning point in his life, attempt to save Joanna and Wiktor's relationship turn out? The play masterfully and very attractively touches on universal problems that each of us faces every day in our private lives. The structure of the play is based on brilliant dialogues and non-obvious emotional volte-faces, which, through laughter and comedy, give the audience a chance to reflect on their own personal lives and experience emotional catharsis.
