Upcoming stage plays with subtitles in english:
March 7 | 19.00 | Main Stage
THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE
Direction: PIOTR KRUSZCZYŃSKI
The performance lasts: 105 minutes (no intermission)
Age restrictions: 14+
In our performance the audience has the right to choose. You are the ones who will decide the fate of the main character of Ferdinand von Schirach’s text, as played by Aleksander Machalica.
The eminent German playwright has already earned a reputation as humanity’s literary ‘conscience’. The Polish pre-premiere of his drama, popular in European theatres and TV stations, is an opportunity to follow the suspense-filled hearings of successive female experts standing before the Ethics Council. These experts are played by seven outstanding actresses: Maria Rybarczyk, Daniela Popławska, Małgorzata Łodej-Stachowiak, Bożena Borowska-Kropielnicka, Antonina Choroszy, Agnieszka Różańska and Marta Herman. Their arguments, ethical, medical and theological dilemmas at the same time become bargaining chips in the ‘choice’ of the concept of freedom, the right to life, and humanity.
March 18 | 19.30 | Third Stage
PORN. WHEN THE AUTHORITY DECIDES WHO YOU ARE
Direction: CEZI STUDNIAK
The performance lasts: 80 minutes (no intermission)
Age restrictions: 16+
– In memory of the revolution.
– Which revolution d’you mean?
– I only know about one and one only. When my body has freed itself from the burden of time and has enjoyed itself regardless of me.
(Drama motto)
She. Girl. Nickname: “Porno”, although it is not about a career in the porn industry but rather about typical exclusion from society, which is also true for people associated with that sector. And although the action of the drama is set in the communist regime, the mechanisms shown in it, the constant collision of individuals with the system and with imposed values, have remained valid for years. But is it always necessary to fight for freedom?
March 26 | 19.30 | New Stage
THE PRESIDENTS
Direction: PIOTR KRUSZCZYŃSKI
The performance lasts: 95 minutes (no intermission)
Age restrictions: 18+
Elderly ladies – from the local sophisticate, through the typical shrinking violet to the curtain-twitching neighbour – all have entirely youthful dreams. The kind you only tell your closest friends and only on special occasions. About long-awaited grandchildren, a better life, a new fur, a pilgrimage to Licheń, an interesting occupation and about love – happy at last, finally forever… The list gets longer, the more modest the real possibilities of the dreamers turn out to be. Eh, Irena, Renata and Maryjka know this best. What will happen when during a banal teatime meeting they dare to release their fantasies from the leash of decency?
