Snow

Staging of the Young Poland movement modernist drama by Stanisław Przybyszewski.

The arrival of Eva, Thaddeus's former love, destroys the peace of his marriage with Bronka. Does the repressed have to finally show up? Is a great affection a weakness or is it a manifestation of strength? What makes us to destroy our loved ones, our own organized life, ourselves?

Please mind that there is cigarette smoke in the show and one of the scenes of the performance uses a strobe emitting strong, pulsating light.

Please mind that due to the layout of the stage, late spectators will not be allowed in the audience. Please arrive at the show several minutes in advance.
