It is not possible to get to know different culture. In fact we always have just the illusion of it. That is what „Africa” by Agnieszka Jakimiak, a play directed by Bartosz Frąckowiak is about. The creators of the show proved that. They presented another African countries, in combination with different ways of study. The truth is that all transfers - media, literary but also travels - are borrowed, because we have an access to it only by our own, European discourse. Perception of different culture is falsified by this. Frąckowiak also shows us the problem of European interference in Africa. How colonization and decolonization affected African people. What kind of problems generates our (European) aid for third World’s countries. „Africa” is profound and extremely absorbing reflection on those topics.
