* The characters of LOST CZECHOSLOVAKIA unsuccessfully seek their identity. Krecik, Krecikowa, Śledcza, Żwirek and Muchomorek are a spectrum of figures, whose provenance reaches Czechoslovak popular culture, contributing to tell an acute story of a dissident woman, once a popular singer, Marta Kubišowa. An overwhelming anguish, indoctrination and powerlessness are “blasted out” by the absurdness of existence.

The characters would find it hard to answer in what country they are actually living and why. They are bound by a feeling of suppression by the omnipotent system, from whose sight, symbolized by the grotesque and demonic Śledcza/ Investigator, there is no escape. “Lost Czechoslovakia” is the first play written by Małgorzata Sikorska-Miszczuk.

Małgorzata Sikorska-Miszczuk (born 1964) playwright, writer; graduated from Gender Studies at the University of Warsaw and the Scenario College PWSFTiT in Lódź.
