Why theatre for young audiences is one of Poland’s cultural and social treasures?

This may surprise many, but Polish theatre for young audiences is one of the richest and the best in Europe. This is not only about the quantity and diversity of the theatre-related events in Poland. It is also about leading playwrights writing for children, special programmes developing dramaturgy for young spectators, long traditions of youth theatre, theatre productions that are aesthetically and politically relevant, and festivals that celebrate children and their theatre. Above all, the quality of Polish theatre for young audiences is underpinned by its progressive engagement with young spectators as creative partners and socio-cultural-political agents – writes Kasia Lech.

Manuel Brug, in his text 'The children of the revolution have already grown old', writes : Under the title 'Rivoluzione e Nostalgia', La Monnaie presents a collage of early Verdi operas. It works surprisingly well, both dramatically and musically.

Turandot" by G. Puccini in the staging of Lviv National Opera

"Turandot" by G. Puccini in the staging of the Lviv National Opera takes the audience back to the times of ancient China, when the Great Wall of China was being built and the legendary terracotta army was being formed to protect the empire in the real world as well as the hereafter. In the play, more than a hundred fossilised figures of the terracotta army embody eyewitnesses in whom sympathy is only aroused by the tragedy in the opera's finale.

'Non-existent' by Natalka Worożbyt at the German Theatre in Essen

First an uncomfortable question: is this emotional blackmail? And do I have to put up with it? On the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, three real Ukrainian women sit on the stage of the Essen theatre with a sad expression at the table and pour real soup into real plates. Later, they stand on the sidelines (of German society, of course) in cheerful scenes. And finally, the youngest of them talks about her escape, her fear and the fact that she will never make it with her soft voice and sweet accent. A review of the production appeared in Theater Heute.
