“Every story is made up. In fact every “self” that expresses itself is a kind of role…”
Most performances by Dada Theatre, when telling us about some human experience try to convert the experience into a story that should be forgotten, eliminated, destroyed. This peculiar strategy aims at opening up new vistas, which can put any sense of order upside down  
“Sooner or later everybody makes up a story, which they take for their life-story”
exactly…
“His “self” was used up, it may happen, and no other came to his mind. It was horrible.”
Cites from: Max Frish, Say Gantenbein…   


reviews:

Leszek Bzdyl in his solo act “Opus Pessimum So Never Again Tell Me You Love Me” has somehow created a new genre – publicity dance.
Tadeusz Skutnik, Dziennik Bałtycki 28.08.2008

Leszek Bzdyl’s latest performance is just another voice raised on the subject of dependence of culture on authorities, and it seems to be the greatest merit of the performance.
Justyna Świerczyńska, Portal Trójmiasto.pl, 28.08.2008

Pretty bitter this performance seems. Its humour and comedy are full of dark bitterness, so laughter is gradually dying out. Perhaps it’s the artist’s indispensable act of catharsis, and later it can get only better?
