Pythonland

A theatrical exercise holds the potential of becoming an event in which the onstage action is related to the cultures of what is happening offstage. Performed at a 400-year-old theatre in China, this adaptation of the thousand-year-old ancient Chinese myth of ‘Genesis’ is given its new life in a contemporary setting. Sitting in the theatre and thinking about how the world has been created, the audience is given the chance to reflect its sense of time and space by seeing how modern and traditional Chinese performing cultures can be interwoven. Engage in cyberspace and let us know what you think of this theatrical encounter.

Home Makers

Combining elements of performance, storytelling and applied theatre, these soundwalks invite us to visit different places or just to close our eyes and let ourselves be guided by the voices of the migrant domestic and care workers, who encourage us to reflect on the power of a voice and a story coming from the heart.

No Matter How Hard We Tried (Między Nami Dobrze Jest)

No Matter How Hard We Tried was directed by Grzegorz Jarzyna based on the play by Dorota Masłowska, commissioned by TR Warszawa and Berlin’s Schopenhauer am Lehniner Platz. The piece is a masterful exposition of the language of advertisements, glossy magazines, and tabloids; it confronts consumptionist dreams with the reality of a family living below the poverty line. All of this is merely a shell beneath which a more serious question lies: a question about the “us” in the title, about national identity, tradition, and memory.

Hamletmachine

For Hamletmachine, Wilson first worked with students at New York University, and later–in the original German version–with theater students in Hamburg, produced by the Thalia Theater. In 2017, the production was revived in an Italian version with acting students from the Theater Academy “Silvio d’Amico” in Rome. Heiner Müller himself called Wilson’s production “the best production ever” of this work, praising it for its lightness and absence of interpretive staging. ONE DAY ONLY! May 1st, for 24 hours.
