Zakopane, Poland
The Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz Theatre in Zakopane is one of Poland's most distinctive dramatic venues, named after the avant-garde writer, painter and philosopher who spent much of his life in the Tatra region. It stages bold, experimental productions rooted in the tradition of Witkacy's absurdist drama, and regularly hosts theatre festivals that draw audiences from across the country.
A solo performance by Emilia Nagórka from the Witkacy Theatre, inspired by a passage from Myśliwski's novel about light and memory, presented as part of the Scene of Actors' Proposals.
A theatrical production inspired by Bergman's film, blending theatre with the atmosphere of 1920s Berlin cabaret.
A guest performance of Sławomir Mrożek's "Tango" by the Wanda Siemaszkowa Theatre from Rzeszów - a grotesque drama about the conflict between freedom and order that still resonates with contemporary audiences.
A theatrical adaptation of "Chlapovki - Zakopane" by Andrzej Strug - a production brimming with brilliant humor, grotesque scenes, and sharp observations of interwar Zakopane. Winner of the Grand Prize at the Comedy Festival TALIA.
Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard" directed by Nikolai Kolady - a performance about fear of change and passivity in the face of fate, where plastic replaces nature and a hurricane destroys all.
