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.

DON KICHOT Comes to Teatr Wielki This Week
by BWW News Desk - September 15, 2022
Jeden z najważniejszych baletów wielkiego francuskiego choreografa Mariusa Petipy, który zyskał sobie miano ojca baletu klasycznego. Stworzył on Don Kichota w 1869 roku dla moskiewskiego Teatru Bolszoj i dwa lata później wystawił go w nowej wersji dla petersburskiego Teatru Maryjskiego. Sięgnął w nim do epizodu ze słynnej powieści Miguela de Cervantesa i skorzystał z bogatej, ponad stuletniej tradycji tego tematu na europejskich scenach baletowych.

BWW Review: LIPS SEALED at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw
by Natalia Jarczynska - May 12, 2022
Theater has to be on display and expose vulnerability, that extremely fragile part of your being that we hide day after day from society, the people around us, and even ourselves. In the new show, Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw does it in a modern and interesting way.

by Natalia Jarczynska - March 25, 2022
The 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. This is exactly what happens on stage.

MAYERLING Wraps Up at Teatr Wielki - Opera Narodowa
by BWW News Desk - March 21, 2022
Stage fright made life difficult for many artists, even the best virtuosos were not free from it, it also destroyed many great talents. Kenneth MacMillan began his ballet career as a dancer at Sadler's Wells Ballet in London, where he was predicted a bright future, but stage fright cut his wings. He gave up dancing and a great choreographer was born, the creator of 10 full-length ballets and over 50 one-act plays with original choreography.

BWW Review: WHAT POLES BELIEVE at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw
by Natalia Jarczynska - March 09, 2022
The show directed by Szymon Kaczmarek has two parts, first, longer, invites us to the world of professionals dealing with paranormal activities. An interesting career path - I must to say. The group of specialist (Anna Kieca, Paulina Wasik, Mateusz Kiljan, Tadeusz Ratuszniak) struggle with a daily “office” routine filled with fortune telling, advising clients in various fields and improving their well-being, dispelling doubts, helping in development, performing magic rituals on request. Piece of cake. It’s imaginative and bizarre, each one being perfect in the role they perform, that they convince absolutely everyone (maybe even themselves). The comedic moments (there are plenty of them) make this show easy to swallow, even though it touches on some pretty serious subject matter. This incredible levity and a great sense of humor make the show fast, pleasant and thoughtful. Sounds good? There is more!
