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.
Review: SOMETHING ROTTEN at Musical Theater in Gdynia by Natalia Jarczynska
- February 13, 2023 What did our critic think of SOMETHING ROTTEN at Teatr Muzyczny W Gdyni? The show is great on every level, with a huge stage, many actors, impressive shorthand, and music that fills every corner of the great hall. The action is fast, it feels like everything is moving all the time. The stage is giant but well organized and every inch is used to the fullest. It's a piece made for a musical scene and shows.
OBSESJE Returns to Teatr Wielki in April by BWW News Desk
- 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.
LA FORZA DEL DESTINO Comes to Teatr Wielki This Month by BWW News Desk
- January 03, 2023 Giuseppe Verdi’s La forza del destino starts with a scene of Donna Leonora and Don Alvaro’s moonlight tryst which is suddenly interrupted by the girl’s father, Marchese di Calatrava. Alvaro draws a pistol, most probably one with a flintlock mechanism, because that was what used in the 18th century.
Review: MARAT/SADE at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw by Natalia Jarczynska
- December 12, 2022 What 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.
OBSESJE Returns to Teatr Wielki in April 2023 by BWW News Desk
- November 25, 2022 W dobie forsowania epickich narracji bywa nam tęskno do bagatel, etiud, filmów nowelowych czy zbiorów opowiadań. Wieczór Obsesji to rzadka okazja obejrzenia kameralnych form baletowych autorstwa wybitnych choreografów, prezentujących dwa różne idiomy – abstrakcyjny i narracyjny.
Review: THE SHOEMAKERS at Teatr Polski In Wroclaw by Natalia Jarczynska
- November 18, 2022 What 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.
LA BOHEME Comes to Teatr Wielki Next Month by BWW News Desk
- November 11, 2022 Before Giacomo Puccini began composing La Bohème , which became one of the most played operas in the world, he planned an opera about the life of the Buddha. Performances run December 4-11, 2022.
Review: BALLADS AND ROMANCES at Wroclaw Mime Theatre by Natalia Jarczynska
- October 24, 2022 What did our critic think of BALLADS AND ROMANCES at Wroclaw Mime Theatre? Three different approaches to Mickiewicz's legacy. Three is a magic number, so combining three magics in magic would bring all the best to the new piece of Mims Theatre in Wroclaw.
Previews: BALLADS AND ROMANCES at Wroclaw Mime Theatre by Natalia Jarczynska
- October 20, 2022 You can love him or hate him. Adam Mickiewicz, one of the greatest polish authors of all time, wrote Ballads and Romances exactly 200 years ago. The collection’s publication is widely seen as the main manifesto of Polish romanticism. We were fed with him at school and now we grew up to get something more out of it.
Review: KOMBINAT at Teatr Muzyczny Poznan by Natalia Jarczynska
- October 17, 2022 What did our critic think of KOMBINAT at Teatr Muzyczny Poznan? So good, so precise and so innovative show it's a real pearl, and oh my, how good it is...

Review: THE MERMAID. LOVE ANATOMY. at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw by Natalia Jarczynska
- September 19, 2022 What did our critic think of THE MERMAID. LOVE ANATOMY. at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw? I love magical realism and after seeing this show I wonder why theater makers use it so rarely (too bad, too bad). Fortunately, there are times like in contemporary theatre, when reality clashes wonderfully with magic.
