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.

Ewelina Marciniak continues her exploration of Wagner's grand narrative of the Nibelung myth

Audiences in Bern were delighted with the premiere of Wagner's "Golden Rhine." Then the Polish director continued her work with the production of "Valkyrie." After its staging, the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" wrote Ewelina Marciniak with her staging of "Valkyrie" in Bern consistently realizes Wagner's "Ring" while telling a deeply human story. The third part of Richard Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung tells the story of the young hero Siegfried in an almost comical way, almost making us forget that the origins and complications of the previous story, of which the hero of course knows nothing, deprive the young man of what he is most likely seeking: Freedom. The musical direction is once again in the hands of chief conductor Nicholas Carter. Premiere 14 April.
