Before becoming an actor, Tomasz began a career in psychology. After two years of seeing patients, he lost faith in his therapeutic abilities and fell into depression. That was when he discovered the autobiographical novel The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart. The book tells the story of a man who, in order to overcome a similar existential crisis, begins using dice to make everyday decisions.

A true story or a provocation? Random Man is a performance based on chance that explores themes of mental health and free will. A roll of the dice determines which scenes Tomasz performs, how he performs them, and which of the six possible endings (each of which changes the format of the performance) the audience will experience.

Random Man was created under the artistic guidance of Carlos Tuñón and his company los números imaginarios as part of the Abril Imaginario programme.

The world makes us believe that we have countless options and can design every detail of our lives according to our own will (the famous “where there’s a will, there’s a way”), but we know that reality is different and that this illusion can be disorienting and paralyzing. In *Random Man* we experiment with a provocative idea: what would happen if we gave up control?

Beyond the story itself, which is spectacular and astonishing, even more striking is Tomasz’s own personality and life story. He has managed to reinvent himself many times, regardless of the elements of fiction or chance that may have been introduced into what we perceive as viewers. If it is even possible to distinguish between the story we are watching and that of the actor.

The greatest dramatic weight falls on the performer, who handles the stage excellently. True to his style, he quickly establishes his identity, offering a very personal performance with all the required freedom. In addition, he adopts a mysterious essence that draws the audience in even further. It can therefore be said without hesitation that his greatest asset is the charisma he radiates: a unique personality that he is able to fully exploit. This is evident in the way he controls improvisation, using it to his advantage.

The performance mesmerized me and kept me in suspense; I was waiting for twists that could unfold live depending on the roll of the dice. Chance as a collaborator in existence, and the question of whether this same concept can be transferred to everyday life, not just as a temporary option, but as something that accompanies every life decision, regardless of whether it is good or bad. Random Man inspires an engaging inner debate.
