Many complains that during this year's "City of Poetry "is not every day concert, which was the previous tradition. In their place is ... diversity. In addition to housing Poetry, which by their nature, they provide the spectrum of choice, you may decide to the Theatre of Poetry, slam, Cinema of Poetry, English feast show or theatrical improvisation group performed NoPotatoes. This last event was proposed on Tuesday night. Impro is a formula known lublinianom already very well - a group led by Przemysław Buksińskiego entertains the audience through regular appearances in the Cax Mafe and Theatre. H. Ch. Andersen. For the uninitiated I'll add briefly that theatrical improvisation involves the creation of short live performances. This can be a pantomime, dramatic skits, songs, movies with a teacher - depending on the rules to provide for the game. An important element is the active participation of the audience, which affects the shape of the spectacle eg, the location of scenes or eliminating the participants, if the game is a competition. Members of the group NoPotatoes
made sure that the poetry was the theme of Tuesday's show. They tried to smuggle into their performances as many topics related to the theme of the festival, because in their improvisations przewijały the names of poets (preferably local - Hartwig and Czechowicz) and quotes from poems. Also checked, as far as their audience is familiar with the topography of the "City of Poetry", telling given as the locations of scenes, places associated with festival.
There are also games in a natural way connected with this field of work: one of them consisted in the laying of the live line, which must contain certain words - abstract text combine in a single sausage, trolleybus and bracelets proved to be possible and even helped to create erotic . Another form of lyrical pedigree was a song: song was about a boy having a polyphonic elbows, who made a career by playing them on the heads of the members of his family. Comedy of the absurd text intensified improvised parallel silent scenes. There were also playing the dialogue, in which an interviewee uses quotes from the book received from people in the audience. Were asked to make available to contractors, of course, books of poetry. It is traditional that in the final game wmontowują improvisers in his speech texts from the randomly selected cards, in which the audience previously typed text. Tuesday's show had to be taken from fragments of poems (to which the public does not fully complied with.) Performance
NoPotatoes group at the festival was, as usual, primarily ludic dimension, but also managed to smuggle poetic relish in it. It's a team that can create a spectacle on the level, not leveled, which in this kind of creativity is a challenge - the line between catchy and embarrassing joke concept can be very thin. Combine entertainment and artistic expression and a good way to attract the event of a very broad and diverse audience, who share the desire to have fun.
