Stanislaw Przybyszewski, the predecessor of the Polish modernist drama is considered the apologist of evil, the "Polish Dostojevski" and satanist for his cutting analysis of human nature. Brutality and tenderness are themes painfully touched by Przybyszewski.
SNOW (1903), one of his best works speaks of the cult of the Power that "rules us like a damned nuisance". They torture us, we torture ourselves.
The SNOW depicts an everyday situation where a man tired of the rough struggle for existance takes a new wife to gather new energy and to feel strong again.
In accordance with symbolism every inch of the scene plays a part: lights, decorations, videos and movements empower the charachters' fear and hope, hallucinations and confusion. Snow is a sign of burden and precentiment of melting as well.
/-/ Passions are aflame, souls are unburdened in his plays. The air is thick with psychology, /-/ (Lindepuu).
