“To Conquer, To Keep, To Abandon” is a musical show where each of the three actresses lead a triptych style section of a triptych form: Katarzyna Zielińska – TO CONQUER, Katarzyna Żak – TO KEEP and Olga Bończyk – TO ABANDON.
Krzysztof Jaślar – author of the script and director – has reached for the treasures of Polish song, but also the great translations of foreign works. The performance touches upon the subjects of parity, chauvinism of both sexes, feminism, diet, cosmetics, beauty parlours, plastic surgery, presents, jewellery, assertiveness in relationships with a quiet opposite sex, as well as answering the fundamental question: HOW TO?… How to conquer? How to keep? How to abandon?
The show presents different kinds of women: a housewife, a homebody, a sweet imbecile, a masculine-woman, a woman buddy, a permanent baby-girl, woman ivy, and so on… A woman at work, shopping, on vacation, during an integrative trip, on a date, in a City Hall and… in the court. Many women. Or is it really just one?
