Critics\u2019 Corner**
\u201cThe piece was as oppressive as it was captivating. […] Horrifying in its origins, yet terrifyingly beautiful in its artistic execution.\u201d Helmut Jasny, Westf\u00e4lische Nachrichten \/ \u201cMaciej Ku\u017ami\u0144ski\u2019s dance piece reminds us how real and intimate the experience of war can be\u2014a full-fledged experience that permeates time, the space around us, our bodies, and our minds.\u201d Justyna Stanis\u0142awska, taniecpolska.pl<\/a> \/ \u201cA land without time, a life without land. The choreography avoids explicit references and drama, yet it radiates the wisdom of a sensitive and multi-layered dance, an excellent group of dancers, and the audience\u2019s ability to immerse themselves in every moment.\u201d Melanie Suchy, TanzWeb NRW<\/div>\n

Maciej Kuzminski\u2019s dance performance *Every Minute Motherland* was created in response to Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine and the resulting refugee crisis. It was created in collaboration with playwright Paul Bargetto, together with a Polish and Ukrainian team that included refugees.
The work is inspired by the dancers\u2019 personal stories and is grounded in documentary practice. It explores the effects of trauma, displacement, and alienation within the broader context of war, identity, and the immutable forces of history and geography. Against the constant backdrop of television and social media, where war unfolds in a chillingly repetitive cycle, the piece refocuses our attention on the bodies of the witnesses, whose experiences are rewritten through movement and conveyed on stage over time as a kind of ritual myth.
From Mariupol to Kharkiv and everywhere else where the war began, culture and artists have become deliberate targets in an effort to destroy the Ukrainian nation. This performance is an act of resistance against these crimes and a declaration of solidarity with Ukraine. <\/div>\n
