Review: MARAT/SADE at Teatr Wspolczesny WroclawDecember 12, 2022What did our critic think of MARAT/SADE at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw? The play was written in 1963 by Peter Weiss, a German writer, and even though the fact that it's almost 60 years old, it hasn't lost any of its actuality. We deal here with the interpretation box. Marcin Liber interpreted the play that interprets the French Revolution but it's also about the revolution itself.
Review: THE SHOEMAKERS at Teatr Polski In WroclawNovember 18, 2022What did our critic think of THE SHOEMAKERS at Teatr Polski In Wroclaw? Witkacy is not easy to swallow. He led a colorful life full of dramas of various intensities. He was a painter, a writer, a soldier, a philosopher, and way more. He loved to shock and burn out from dullness and confusing basic matters. He had a vision, he was implacable. His last play, The Shoemakers is political and grotesque. Predicts the collapse of civilization. For many, this work is the cruelest and most provocative in the writer's entire work. Today his piece is frightfully contemporary.

Review: THE MERMAID. LOVE ANATOMY. at Teatr Wspolczesny WroclawSeptember 19, 2022What did our critic think of THE MERMAID. LOVE ANATOMY. at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw?

BWW Review: THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO at Opera WroclawJune 2, 2022This opera buffa composed in 1786 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the piece produced by the Wrocław Opera as part of the Opera Of The Young program after Don Giovanni and Cossi Fan Tutte. Director André Heller-Lopes put on a very classic show with superb set design by Renato Theobaldo. It is red and gold, intense, full of depth and density of the castle rooms. In the final act, the castle turns into ruby wood. Still magnificent. Kerosene lamps arranged around the revolving stage added 100 points to the charm of the scenography.

BWW Review: I SEE NOTHING at Teatr Wspolczesny WroclawMarch 25, 2022The theater, in particular contemporary should not only show a vision of precise story but ask some questions about reality we live in, make us think.
