PRZESILENIE

"At thirty-five, must you accept that you will never become who you wanted to be, if it hasn't happened by now…?"

A woman with a past and a man with baggage meet by chance in a bar. Or is it not chance at all, but Fate itself that has arranged this journey through the shortest night of the year - a night of magic, elemental forces, and confrontation with their own fears, longings, and dreams? A performance full of surprising twists and painful truths about the life of a generation that has already turned thirty-five and, fleeing the vision of approaching "middle age," takes refuge in grotesque humor and paradox.
