Derelict

A play for adults by Malina Prześluga written in 2013-14 starts off on Christmas Eve - a holiday on which we promise ourselves harmony and joy, and often go to sleep with a sense of greater emptiness than usual. The situation at the Christmas table shows, in a nutshell, the family's relations: lack of understanding, quarrels over the smallest things. The only person representing the old order, peace, confidence, and warmth is grandma.

The characters are surrounded by a multitude of layers and phrases that express nothing true about them, that hold no feeling. According to the author, what is important are feelings, the ability to love, express and share affection.
