An undertaking of Song In Between (Wroc³aw, Poland) 

a solo piece by Agnieszka Pietkiewicz directed by Grzegorz Zió³kowski 

"Leaden, because it burdens.

Ball, because it rolls.

It appears in the left ventricle,

in the finger that taps cordially on the forehead,

in the right hemisphere.

Leave – it does not want to…

The lead cannot be forged, only cast – into a heart.

The ball – not a ‘big ball’ anchored to a chain – is stuck in the barrel pressed to the temple,

and not manacled to a foot.

It resolves the matter efficiently, once and for all.

The lead is pain – the ball gives a heavy sigh.

The ball – not the ‘little ball’, because we are not on such intimate terms 

even though it pulsates through my veins,

through the junctions

of desperation and quietness –

leadenly limps inside me.

Ball, big ball, little ball – raise a toast of the leaden mist for me."

(Grzegorz Zió³kowski) 

Etudes

• I was still barely a little child – waves, tell me

• empty yourself – rose of roses

• kamikaze – inger – give alms

• tripping – a lust for plunder

• the birds have seen me – the water splashes against my calves

• Ophelia, the one the river didn’t keep

• The Plumb Line
