Peasants
A contemporary deconstruction of Władysław Reymont’s epic novel, shifting the focus toward the oppressive anatomy of a closed community. The production strips away folklore decoration to expose the brutal friction between collective ritual, environmental determinism, and the erasure of individual autonomy.
