In the piece, we accompany a woman’s journey as she deals with the inevitable. As she finds strength to say goodbye to her son, to wait for news, and to deal with his loss. The choreography explores themes of helplessness, loss and grief, while echoing Szymanowski's expression of deep emotions through simplicity.
"The delicacy of the dancers does not conflict with the strong, sometimes aggressive movement. On the contrary, it emphasises the fact that under this human strength lies fragility and sensitivity, beautifully expressed in dance and music. The artists are perfectly harmonious" - Anna Czajkowska, Teatr Dla Wszystkich.
