"Sztuka przetrwania" tells the story of children forced to grow up too soon and adults trying to preserve their humanity. The performance explores the cycle of trauma, the search for meaning, and childhood in the shadow of war - and asks whether imagination can become a tool for survival. Sometimes art is created not to delight, but to endure; stories are like forests we must find our way out of.
