Roboczku, pōdź sam yno do ōpy, dej licko. Robert, tell the priest a poem. So talented, but lazy. Mr Robert, master, welcome! Mr Robert, are you the one in these pictures? Are you under the influence of drugs? And now Robert Mamok, scandalist and provocateur! Mr Robert, why don’t you say something in Silesian...? Robert, you have to talk about your emotions. You can’t be afraid of your emotions, Robert. Dad, are you there? Dad, Robert, motherfucker, how could you do this to me? Robert, do you think they saw us together? So old and so stupid. We’re so disappointed in you, Mr Robert.
“Bull” is the second dramatic text after “Humbel” by Szczepan Twardoch, author of bestselling novels, including “The King,” “Morphine” and “Drach.” The protagonist of the monodrama is Robert Mamok, who struggles with his own class and ethnic identity in two languages, Polish and Silesian. Here is a man in crisis: he wrestles with his guilt and weaknesses, weighs up successes and failures, confronts the weight of a family secret, the burden of a strict Silesian upbringing, despair, anger and bitterness.

Given the emancipatory dimension of the Silesian self-awareness today, this performance is a manifesto with almost revolutionary potential. Silesia has not had such a strong declaration of its different identity in Warsaw since the premieres of Kazimierz Kutz’s films, and perhaps never before.
Szczepan Twardoch’s insightful, courageous and humorous text is half of the success of the “Bull” (…), the other half of the success is generated by Robert Talarczyk, his acting, the way he approaches this not easy, complicated role.
