Written in 1958/59 under the influence of the theatre of the absurd creators Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco, it remains one of the most important dramatic works in the history of Polish literature today. The drama is set in the protagonist's room and the protagonist spends time in bed. He is lonely, frustrated, lost, tired and out of control of his life. His home is no longer a safe haven, anyone can enter it without knocking, it resembles a street where different people go about their business. The hero's actions have no specific purpose, his political views are vague, his convictions are vague and his posture is passive. He is faceless, ageless, nameless, professionless. He is a hero without personality. His life is fragmented into separate episodes and resembles a disorderly collection of biographical pages - a card file. In the course of the action, some events emerge, others fade away like negatives of memory. The fragmentary composition of The Card File is like a file of human consciousness, where memories of the past, the emptiness of the present and the haze of the future are mixed. This surreal, tragicomic collage of episodes from the hero's life reflects the inner fractures, value and emotional chaos of the generation that lived through the war. "This is a performance fit for our great times. The times are great, but the people are too small", the characters comment ironically. Does this general state of decay, chaos and meaninglessness, the lack of constructive ideas and fatigue not resemble our own times? This is an ironic play about a man at a crossroads, his journey into himself and his attempt to find the supports of meaning in life. It is a theatre of imagination, dreams and memories. It is a living theatre that touches the heart of contemporary problems.
