Adapted by TAKDAJA, Komornicka/Włast’s writings converge in a new performance on isolation, freedom, and womanhood.

Part poetic stream of consciousness, part personal letters, part vibes — Biesy/Demons wanders across self-realisation through experience. It mixes fictional writings, essays, and personal letters to their mother and lovers, both in blossoming and wilting life chapters.

From travelling across Europe to running out of money –  falling madly in love to burning dresses – studying in Cambridge and defying gender expectations, TAKDAJA’s Biesy/Demons looks at identity and migration from the perception of 19th century Poland and 21st century England.

“The whole journey we floated through a sea of wondrous fragrance—haymaking in the mountains, so saturated with scent that the air intoxicates like wine.”
