EMIGRANTS by Slavomir Mrożek
In this tense drama, set on New Year's Eve, we meet two men: emigrants or immigrants, convicts or asylum seekers, refugees or vagabonds. It is all irrelevant, because wherever we look, we encounter the same problem. In the universe that surrounds us, as Jean-Paul Sartre said - "Hell is other people". Can we find a way out of this vicious circle? If we believe that existence precedes essence, then there is no way out for Assange, nor for the sad clowns brought to life by Mrożek. However, if essence ever overtakes existence, we might be able, at least symbolically, to accept the sufferings of the human fate in the eternal struggle between freedom and necessity.
