Review: RABBLE at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw
by Natalia Jarczynska - February 13, 2023


What did our critic think of RABBLE at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw? This show is unlike any other. Interactive, audience-friendly yet intimate in a very comfortable way. The play is based on Kacper Poblocki's book and gives an interesting perspective on Polish history. This is the part we forget, ignore, or intentionally hide. We come from the countryside, from the oppressed plebs who lived hand to mouth, day by day for someone else.

by Natalia Jarczynska - February 13, 2023

OBSESJE Returns to Teatr Wielki in April
by Stephi Wild - January 17, 2023


Choreografia do fragmentów Schubertowskiego kwintetu to taniec czysty, abstrakcyjny, by nie rzec: autoreferencyjny. Pastor mówi, że inspirowały go także osobiste, nierzadko „obsesyjne', relacje pomiędzy tancerzami w jego zespole. Kto ma w pamięci Pianistkę Hanekego, temu już zawsze Schubert kojarzyć się będzie z presją perfekcji i seksualności.
