Fame MMA

The full performance is in Polish, accompanied by English subtitles. These are fights in which famous personalities and people outside the professional martial arts community fight against each other. Real statements of participants of matches from press conferences and interviews have become the basis for the scenario. In our perception, these matches are a modern equivalent of gladiator games, offering viewers the opportunity to ventilate the most primitive instincts: the desire for violence, humiliation and public judgment. However, the performance is not just about criticism. It examines the confrontation as a moment in which it is impossible to find understanding - because no one wants (or fails to) retreat. Instead of aggression, there is a different solution: tenderness, vulnerability and acceptance of one's own imperfection. “Face to Face”, a direct confrontation before the duel. It is at that time that the most intimate, often tabloid details from the life of wrestlers come to the surface. For viewers it is a moment of tension and sensations, often more interesting than the match itself. Teaching
