The director, as well as the author of the script, is Rafał G±sowski - an actor, and for two years also a director in the Wierszalin Theatre.
The title of the play is derived from "plastination", which is a method of preserving a dead body invented by a German anatomist Gunther von Hagens.
Hagens mummifies human corpses making them into objects from the borderland between art and science, and displays them on travelling exhibitions. Professor Emet, the protagonist of the Wierszalin drama, also deals with the preparation of the remains, searching for the answer to the question about the essence of humanity in a peculiar mausoleum of mankind.

"Diaghilev is dead"... - these are the first words said in "God Nijinsky". At the derelict chapel of the lunatic asylum in Kreutzlingen starts the unusual panichida. Vaclav Nijinsky serves the requiem mass for his promoter and lover. He was told that the famous Russian Ballet's producer, Sergei Diaghilev had just died in Venice. Once Nijinsky promised him " Serge I will dance on your grave". So he dances, blessing his believers, a group of Kreutzlingen patients, participating with him in this astonishing ritual.

In his famous book published in 1974 Włodzimierz Pawluczuk - a sociologist, an anthropologist and a scholar of religion - described the phenomenon of Wierszalin. In the thirties of the last century in this little village, lost somewhere in Białostocczyzna, the Ortodox sect under prophet Ilijah command (an illiterate peasant, who claimed to be the new prophet Elijah) wanted to build the New Jerusalem. Piotr Tomaszuk takes from Pawluczuk's book mainly bare facts. He combines the witnesses' and even participants' descriptions and relations into one fascinating parade. In this procession take part six extraordinary actors portraying simple peasants from the Polish-Belarus borderland.

Based on themes from the medieval "esta Romanorum" and Thomas Mann's novels "The Holy Sinner" and "Doctor Faustus", "Saint Oedipus" is an attempt to discover the principal truth about human nature. Piotr Tomaszuk refers to the fundamental for European culture myth of king Oedipus, which in his original Sophoclean version indicates power and irrevocability of fate. The most petrifying fact for the spectator in the Sophocles' drama is the impotency of human actions against grater forces.

Based on "House of day, house of night" by Olga Tokarczuk.
The medieval apocrypha about saint Wilgefortis describes a history about a girl, who was presented with a beard by Jesus Christ and because of that her face resembled his. The common people considered it as a miracle but her father as a dishonor and the result of devil's actions. He crucified Wilgefortis, saying: "If he is your beloved, you will die like him". The common people enshrined the effigy of saint Wilgefortis - the crucified girl with the Jesus Christ's face.
