Journeys in a new Homeland by Simon Mol struck me as a provocative play after reading it. Race of Stamps is another provocative play by the author – Wojtek Laciski, Polish Radio Bis.

Beauty and sorrow in the city

By Joanna WoŸniczko (Gazeta Wyborcza, 23/09/05)

‘Joy and sorrow are international languages’, says Simon Mol, director of the play ‘Standstill Moment’, which was staged yesterday in Victoria hotel. Africans, Asians and Europeans took part in it.

‘Oh God all’s cool— cool girls, cool guys’, says the impulsive Angolan actor to the public; the performance of Standstill Moment by the group Migrator Theatre begins.

Stand-still Moment: A Review

Author and Director: Simon Mol

Length: 1 hour
Actors:
Exile Masters (Theatre group of the Association of Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Poland - Actors are drawn from over seven different countries)
Inspired by the poem the ‘Stand-still Moment’ this mystical, musical spectacle shows ‘the beauty and bestiality of a city’ through the combination of Caucasian, Oriental and African dances. Well knitted together, these cross-cultural ingredients rightly portray ‘Happiness and Grief’ as natural human legacies, irrespective of race or culture. Above all, the entire play displays the runs that the human emotional mechanism experiences in the course of incarnation.

Refugees in Poland bring attention to plight of asylum seekers with theatre

Michal Zajac (Radio Prague, 24.6.2005)

"Journeys in a New Homeland" is the title of a play written by a Cameroonian refugee, Simon Mol, and shown to Polish audiences by a team of refugee-actors seeking asylum in Poland.

The play opens with a symbolic argument between a drummer and guitarist. This, in turn, leads to a widespread bloody conflict.
