Performance/installation La Fin with the participation of PJAIT lecturer PJAIT Jakub Karpoluk

On December 5, 2025, at 7 p.m., Studio Na Grobli at the Grotowski Institute in Wrocław will host a performance/installation entitled La Fin by Studio Wachowicz/Fret. PJAIT lecturer PJAIT Jakub Karpoluk is participating in the project.

The performance La fin concerns a deeply understood ecology of culture or, in the words of Jerzy Grotowski, interpersonal ecology. It is not only the ecology of behavior, micro- and macro-rituals, but above all the 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 hand reminds us that we create ourselves each time "in" and "thanks" to contact with other people. The performance uses about forty initial, several-second-long fragments of works that constitute the canon of Western musical culture. The actions during the performance will constitute a kind of act of ablution.
