The performance “La Fin” deals with a deeply understood ecology of culture or—to quote Jerzy Grotowski—interpersonal ecology. It is not only an ecology of behaviors, micro- and macro-rituals, but above all an ecology of the communicative environment and the right to express oneself to others—which, on the one hand, constitutes the foundation of Western culture, namely personalism, and on the other, reminds us that we create ourselves each time “in” and “through” contact with another person.

The performance features several brief, opening excerpts—lasting just a few seconds—from pieces that constitute the canon of Western musical culture.

The actions taken during the performance will constitute a kind of ablution.

“La Fin” quotes the first chapter of Guy Debord’s *La Société du spectacle*, concluding it with a single missing sentence: “Of all spectacles, war remains unrivaled.”

The event will take place atthe S. I. Witkiewicz Theater in Zakopane on September 25 at 7:15 p.m.
