Talk to me

intimate hotel performance Other 1h 30 minutes, no intermission Premiere date 05/04/2024

Na kanapie siedzi mężczyzna i kobieta, w tle widoczny pokój

“Talk to me” is the story of two people who, locked in the luxurious space of a penthouse overlooking present-day Katowice, struggle with the demons of the past. The intimacy of the story is emphasised by the fact that the roles of the couple, who love and hate each other at the same time, are played by a real-life married couple of Silesian Theatre actors, Agnieszka Radzikowska and Dariusz Chojnacki. The action of this unique production takes place in the authentic spaces of the Diament Plaza Hotel, and the audience, together with Aga and Darek, has the opportunity to take an extraordinary journey through the nooks and crannies of the hotel room, restaurant and lobby. Let’s try to face this extremely intimate story of spouses who experienced the most traumatic experience in their lives together.

The production was a truly Bergmanian vivisection, and the actors’ acting so convincing that at times it blurred the line between theatricality and reality. I am an experienced theatregoer, yet I shattered the theatrical illusion in myself by giving in to emotion. I suppressed tears and clenched my throat.

Marta Fox, martafox.pl

Talarczyk wrote the text himself, he also directed the show, and because he has a great feel for acting – he is, after all, an excellent actor – he trusted the talent of both artists and won on this. I guess that the intention may have failed, despite the original idea with the adaptation of the space. It’s all about energy. The use of acting energy, and, particularly challenging, human energy. Radzikowska and Chojnacki have done this brilliantly.
