DECENT PEOPLE
Direction: Piotr Kruszczyński

Wyrzykowska’s novel, awarded with the prestigious Françoise Sagan Prize, is a meticulously crafted tragicomic portrait of affluent European society: people plagued by phobias, obsessively focused on curating their image, and susceptible to media manipulation…
France, 2014. A wealthy family: a mother and her three adult children. The steady rhythm of everyday life – marked by successive family celebrations, gatherings, professional challenges, and travels – is disrupted by the sudden appearance of a Stranger. Who is he? What will he demand? What are his true intentions? The uncertainty surrounding this enigmatic figure soon becomes a catalyst for exposing the fragility of familial bonds and the long-standing game of appearances…

YOU’LL BE PLEASED, MADAM; OR THE VERY LAST WEDDING IN KAMYK VILLAGE
Direction: AGATA DUDA-GRACZ
The performance lasts: 210 minutes (1 intermission)
Age restrictions: 18+
There is a village where the air is frozen. There is a village where silence lasts continuously: you can not hear the buzzing of flies nor the wind moving the ears of grain in the fields, nor an approaching cart…
There is a village where are no children, no cow has calved for years, no hen has laid eggs. The mechanism of birth and death has been suspended. New families do not form. Half the houses are empty because only the strongest remain here. And none of the residents are normal.
Will Zuni and Sitka’s wedding, prepared with great pomp, break this reign of silence, revive the local community and end the dead season with the traditional “…and they lived happily ever after”?
Or maybe the approaching apocalypse can no longer be stopped?
One thing is certain – an uninvited wedding guest is approaching: evil.
