In one place, at the same time eleven Ophelias met, eleven ways of experiencing and playing the role, eleven actor performances. In the empty space of Muzeum Sztuki eleven actresses who have played the role of Ophelia in theatre productions of Shakespeare\u2019s Hamlet performed the final scene of madness.
\nThe oldest performer was 80 years old (played Ophelie in 1960), the youngest is still playing in the adaptation from this year. The joint appearance of the actresses, arranged by Zorka Wollny, was a performance in which different interpretations of the classic dramatic role created an image of female madness.<\/p>\n

\n„Wollny\u2019s Ophelias. Iconography of Madness<\/em>, <\/em>which is a performance and theater piece at the same time, features twelve professional actresses who play Ophelia, one after another. The actresses, who come from different theater traditions and generations, all played Ophelia according to their divergent training, knowledge, skills, and so on. The procession of Ophelias was stunning\u2014the audience entered the world of deception, sorrow, and madness caused by the system of patriarchal rule. Some performed the character as a woman completely alienated from reality, while others seemed perfectly \u201cnormal.\u201d Any woman would feel that they might also fall, that in the given condition (of Shakespeare\u2019s Hamlet<\/em>), they would not survive. The eternal feminine <\/em>that opened before our eyes did not consist in the perpetuation of women\u2019s beauty or seductive capacities, as in the stereotypical fetish of femininity; it became a feminist Howl<\/em> of the female personae non grata in the male-dominated world. In my text accompanying the project\u2019s online release, I claimed that these Ophelias performed a structural transformation of the public sphere.”<\/p>\n<\/h1>\n
