Once upon a time, the demonic Południca haunted field workers, tempting them to engage in a deceptive dialogue. This legendary figure, borrowed from Slavic folklore, poses a metaphor for our contemporary anxieties related to ecological and social unease. The combination of text, video and digital doubling creates a setting that is at once archaic and futuristic.

The performance unfolds as a hybrid narrative that seamlessly blurs presumed polarities, such as subject and the environment, nature and technology, real and virtual. –lalia is split between two locations: it is performed in the foyer of the theatre, while a live stream connection mediates the performance on the stage. Thus the ordinary structure is reversed, preventing the audience from being able to see the performance in its totality and instead only grasp fragments of the live act and its virtual duo.
