As part of Warsaw Dance Stage series, on Thursday, 9 May at 7 pm, the Centre for Contemporary Art – Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw (Laboratory Building) will host the premiere of Karol Tymiński’sBEEP. His new work refers to the “beep test” used to evaluate a person’s resistance to fatigue and ability to carry on a task for an extended period of time. The main idea here is to drive the individual to his or her extremes, at which point the dependence of the emotional state on the physical condition is very high.
Tymiński’s previous solo show was also presented as part of the first edition of Warsaw Dance Stage. Drawing inspiration from the vision of utopian American society of the 1950s, Doll house explores that period’s figure/construct of the woman and her ascribed roles.
