Ivona, Princess of Burgundia
What would happen, if someone's perfectly organised world was invaded by a stranger of such kind?
Crude and uncontrolled, she doesn’t fit the photoshopped reality. Ivona’s arrogance is striking in its own way, as she grants herself the right to make mistakes, to be weak and imperfect. This irritates others, exposes their hypocrisy and fills them with envy. We may live in a democracy, but social hierarchies still exist. We keep the order intact, just like the royal court in Gombrowicz’s drama does. We dislike those who are different.
