The topie of my article is solitude of the titled mother in the drama of Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz. The play was organized in Cracow’s The National Old Theatre by a magnificent and, unfortunately, deceased artist - Jerzy Jarocki. It is rare to experience such a piece of art where all human feelings are, in a radical way, mocked and rotten. Witkacy overemphasizes a motif of a widów mother - used by their children. It helped him in reaching a comic effect and ridiculing his characters. The Mother is an unpleasant play. In a fiction layer it shaped in a form of a parody of a psychological family drama, kept in poetics grotesąue poetics. Witkacy, obsessed with exposing the lowest human instincts, tried to overdraw the lowest emotions and deeds in such a way, that the reader had to understand them with a laughter overwhelmed by an anxiety. A theatrical staging, in a possible perfect way, exposes knot of complexes, at the same time becoming the best substantiation of Witkiewicz’s drama.
