Stanis?aw Syrewicz and Anna Hop reveal being inspired by Gombrowicz’s grotesque. Together they want to translate elements of the writer’s symbolism into a musical and visual language. “Just like there is no room for lyrical tones in Gombrowicz”, Syrewicz remarks, “and just like drama is mixed with the grotesque in his work, there is no room for mawkishness, solemnity or soppiness in my compositions where irony runs deep”. Ferdydurke is as tough to adapt as a ballet as it is fascinating - the body, or rather its parts abstracted from the context of the whole are an important element in the construction of the novel’s grotesque world. Notions such as “pupa” [backside], “g?ba” [mug], “?ydka” [calf of the leg] and “rozcz?onkowanie” [dismemberment] describe social and psychological phenomena which, despite the passage of several decades, are still terrifyingly relevant.
