‘The Great Gatsby’ directed by Ewelina Marciniak at Schauspiel Frankfurt

Ewelina Marciniak and her team of Polish artists staged The Great Gatsby in Frankfurt, the capital of German finance, as a spectacle about the bankruptcy of the capitalist dream - founded on the wage labour of the usually invisible and nameless precariats. Marciniak plays with conventions freely and with humour: there is romance, there is detective story and even, in Iga Gancarczyk's unpredictable finale, Thriller.- writes Michał Centkowski.

Czech performance ‘... because of Alma’ at the Theatre Institute

The Theatre Institute invites you on 23 and 24 November at 7 p.m. to the performance ‘... because of Alma’ (dir. Jaroslava Šiktancová). Musical talent and a happy childhood in a well-known musical family, as well as a marriage to a brilliant musician - all this seemed to bode well for the brilliant violinist Alma Rosé's prosperous and successful life with music in the leading role. However, only the music remained. Everything else was swept away.

Forefathers' Eve directed by Andro Enukidze soon in Gori

Forefathers' Eve Adam Mickiewicz's romantic drama considered not only unstageable but also untranslatable belonging to Polish national culture, has started to be taken up by artists of other nationalities: Lithuanians, Byelorussians or Georgians. Forefathers' Eve staged in a different language and in a different cultural context not only turns out to be understandable for a foreign audience, but also surprises Polish viewers with its freshness of interpretation. A performance directed by Andro Enukidze will take place in Gori on 11 November.

Freeing the Natural Voice According to Kristin Linklater: Sigh of Relief

Workshop sessions led by Joanna Kurzyńska (Designated Linklater Teacher). Apply by 3 days before

I invite you to meet the essence of Kristin Linklater’s Freeing the Natural Voice method – “a sigh of relief”. This is a fundamental step in this approach to working with the voice, as well as a basic tool for regulating the tension that often occurs unconditionally in everyday life. Sighing helps to release tension. Learning to stimulate the impulse to sigh becomes the key to re-educating the system of thinking about the “correct” production of the voice. “Maximum effect with minimum effort” is the hallmark of great art. Great art grows out of truth. “Minimum effort’ requires full engagement with the inner processes of imagination and emotion that stimulate the voice to express inner truth.
