The sensual aura of Midsummer night, a touch of Polish agrarian culture, inspired by the works of Oskar Kolberg and The Polish Year by Zofia Kossak-Szczucka. A mythical tale of Odysseus' return to Ithaca on the basis of Stanisław Wyspiański's Return of Odysseus. Compositions by Eugeniusz Rudnik, a pioneer of Polish electronic music, and Kurpie love songs performed by Adam Strug. Ascetic visual setting, dominated by costumes woven from jute. The heterogeneity of the performance's material embodies the double face of the harvest cycle. Mythical - understood as the succession of birth and death in the rhythm of the seasons; existential - revealing the dark areas of human nature - the sowing and harvesting of hatred.
