The monodrama is a deeply personal and introspective project in which Paweł confronts the story of Narcissus as a lens for examining his own identity. Inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, this performance channels classical myth through a contemporary perspective, allowing the young artist to explore themes of beauty, truth, and the intricate dynamics of self-perception.
Through this process, Paweł crafts an original narrative that not only illuminates his personal journey but also reveals the ongoing relevance of mythic structures in modern life.

This performance was created out of the need to understand oneself as both the creator and the created — simultaneously crafting and attempting to comprehend the 'metaria' that forms the foundation of the self.
