Out is a story about alienation and its certain aspects ine the life of a modern person. Alienation, and certainly female alienation, has been a pejorative term for a long time now.It is something indisputably reprehensible in the light of the attainments of culture which has always been built under male lead. But that is it! The lucrative leadership, the reprimands, the certainty that alienation negates any and all values - they all end now. Just a little bit more effort now and the obligation to acquiesce to male ideologies will be punishable. This feministic tone does not mean that we treat it seriously. We make fun of both male chauvinists and feminists because exaggeration into any direction and the lack of any reasonable balance are ridiculous.

Determination and vision of Izadora Weiss in making of big ballet performances awakens respect. Young and dynamic modern dance ensemble which was possible to create on our stage due to hard and consistent work at realizations of four previous premieres which makes us proud and distinguishes Baltic Opera from other theatres of this scale not only in Poland. We have confirmation of this on the audience and in the opinions of specialists.  
Her newest work is a turning point in thinking about rules that govern transmitting meaning through dance. It is also an act of protest against forcing on poets rules of the brutal world directed by majority rule, fashion created by peddlers and pathological consumption. This performance is about that there is no agreement between love for purity and beauty and need for trivial entertainment and dulling of the senses. This is a declaration of belief that dance is the most moving way to express the inexpressible.
