Witold Szablowski | Dancing Bears
- For many years, Bulgarian gypsies taught bears to dance. With the fall of communism, the bears also gained their freedom. However, in times of stress or unexpected situations, they use an old reflex and stand on their hind legs, ready to perform a trick.During his journalistic journey through Poland, Albania and Bulgaria, among others, Witold Szablowski records the intriguing stories of people who are free, just like the tamed bears, but often still long for the communist era. For example, he meets diehard worshipers of Stalin in his birthplace, and a Ukrainian cleric for whom the European Union is a devilish tempter.Dancing Bears is a fascinating, metaphorical book about major social upheavals, in which people have to find their way in a new social and political landscape. Many can feel orphaned, just like the bears without their master.
