"The Cases of the Warsaw Lover” - This is the story of a modern 35 year old man living in Warsaw, Poland. He ends his stressful job in a corporation and begins to search for the true meaning of his life.

His passion has always been writing and music. By opening a new chapter in life, he can now live like an artist. He didn't have time for this before. Krzysztof begins his journey through the world of music, nightclubs, working for Uber, alcohol, yoga, ayahuasca and, of course, women who will make him feel dizzy. Can you find the meaning of life in all this?
Will the path taken by the main character of the comedy monodrama inspired by the novel "Women" by Charles Bukowski allow him to achieve fulfillment?

This one-man show is a gallery of characters, live music and top places on the map of the Polish capitol. There will be no shortage of charisma, laughter, and tears... You simply have to see it!

THE AUDIENCE SAYS:

"The best one-act we've seen in the last few years (if not the best overall). We highly recommend the show, the theater and its creators!"

"A brilliant one-act play, with exceptional acting by Grzegorz. An incredible talent for playing extremely diverse roles. I have never seen such a wide range of extreme emotions presented by one person. Bravo!!!!"

A great, exceptionally talented, incredibly seductive artist, with a capital A. Multi-talented, the incarnations in which he appeared make his art remain in memory for longer. This is what theater is all about - staying longer. An actor who deserves to perform on big stages, in the best theaters. Playing with his whole body. Eyes, smile gestures, simply phenomenal. The theme of Warsaw was presented very well. Warsaw residents can feel great, and those who don't live here can experience our specific life, or rather the meaning of life here."
