MY SON JUST WALKS A LITTLE SLOWER / MOJ SIN SAMO MALO SPORIJE HODA
text Ivor Martinic
director Janusz Kica
In the space of a giant white box that, set on a classical stage, markingly symbolises a bare family space with constantly lowered curtains, Janusz Kica sets out to a discreet and patient search for the secrets, interpersonal relations, maturation and life with the other, but also the alternate. The multi-layeredness and maturity of the dramatic text of the author still in his late twenties impresses, and with his tragi-comic threads he colours his characters, set in almost all imaginable family relations. And in these relationships, through three generations, life can be nauseating and cheeful, and its real image sometimes deeply concealed as in Chekhov’s pauses between replicas, in the unuttered words, like the truth in crevasses.
