On 6 December 2024, Kraków will again become the centre of the theatrical world and fervent debate as the 17th BOSKA KOMEDIA / DIVINE COMEDY International Theatre Festival, following this year’s provocative motto – You Are So Fucking Special – will open and captivate local and international audiences alike.
The performance celebrating the 120th anniversary of Witold Gombrowicz's birth and 55th anniversary of his death will also be presented at the Wielki Theatre - National Opera. The musical layer of the work was created by Zygmunt Krauze. The operatic staging of ‘The Wedding’ was prepared for the Grand Theatre in Poznan as part of the ‘Composer Orders’ programme, implemented by the National Institute of Music and Dance.The premiere is planned on 22 November.
A musical realisation of one of the most important Polish dramas directed by Krzysztof Cicheński. Pure Gombrowicz: irony, grotesque, and absurd. A slow deformation which we perhaps fail to see at first glance. Contradictions which we try to explain to no avail.
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.
A political play commissioned by the Burgtheater in Vienna - but never staged there. The premiere took place in 2006 at the Staatstheater Darmstadt. After 18 years, it returns to the German repertoire in a new production by Joanna Lewicka. Premiere 15. December 2024 in Schleswig-Holstein.

The work of leading Polish director Maja Kleczewska, based on Adam Mickiewicz's play Dziady (Forefathers' Eve), with actors from the Frankowski Dramatic Theatre, has an anti-Russian discourse and a clear, irrevocable message for those who are still looking for the “charo russkie”. Performances will take place on 31 October at 5 and 9 pm and on 2 November at 4 and 8 pm at the Gdansk Shakespeare Theatre.
The performance ‘10 Commandments’ by the Iron Collective artists will be presented at the Zygmunt Raszewski Theatre Institute in Warsaw on 23 September. The show is an event organised as part of the 67th Warsaw Autumn International Festival of Contemporary Music.

What is this course? Exploring the relationship between body, text, voice, and movement. Participants will learn the anatomy of the human body, discover embryological patterns and try discovering new bodily sensations that can be used in everyday life or on stage.
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.
