Event Details
The new season of Teatr Dramatyczny in Warsaw starts with the stage reading of The Calipsh Will Kiss Our Foreheads by the Austrian author Muhammet Ali Baş, with the direction of Aldona Figura.
The play tells in a highly comic manner of the efforts of two young men to enroll in jihad. Its principal aim is to expose the absurd reasons that motivate them to do so. Aside from all the usual, frequently discussed explanations, the play attempts to highlight the role of pop cultural elements and religious illiteracy in this. In the course of the play the two young men meet a plethora of quirky, bigoted characters who are in the jihad business primarily to further their own financial interests. This is often grotesquely funny but is also highly instructive. Not only for the figures taking part, but also for the audience. The play tries to make sense of the incomprehensible in a quirky and comic manner without making it appear cute.

Penaty
by Timofiej Iljewski
translation by Jakub Adamowicz
direction by Artur Tyszkiewicz
Instead of talking to each other, they reach for phones, the always-on TV becomes a companion of everyday life, screaming replaces words, and headphones on their ears help to escape from everyday life. Timofiej Iljewski in his comedy-drama portrays a three-generation Belarusian family locked in one apartment, condemned to their presence. Grandma – for thirty years she was the secretary of a party organization and it’s hard to part with the past, father – a frustrated lecturer, tired of explaining the basics of knowledge about culture and art to students, mother – locked in the kitchen with a pot of potatoes, she has no strength to raise children, daughter – a typical teenager experiences emotional crises related to boys, the son – a young rebel stuck to the computer screen, wants to escape from a country where power takes away people’s freedom. There is also my grandfather – a former journalist, a silent observer of crazy family life, whose main occupation is reading notes and memories from the war times at dinner. What must happen for the family to start talking to each other again? Are the crisis of communication and lack of understanding inherent in our everyday life?

Live until the premiere. A comedy in two acts
by Nikołaj Rudkowski
translation by Bożena Majorczyk
In order to be credible on a theatrical stage, does one have to experience in reality what the protagonist experiences? For Vera and Katia, young actresses who are preparing a war-themed performance, empathizing with a role becomes synonymous with losing a sense of reality. Their ambition dictates that in order to create authentic figures of partisans, they must, like them, “soak up the smell of war”. Hunger, poverty, fear, difficult conditions, escapes, torture, pain – actresses are trying harder and harder to feel the danger and risk associated with conspiracy and conflict. Their attempts quickly turn into crazy and absurd actions, which the husband of one of them looks at with pity. It is he who loudly declares that in the modern world there are things worse than war, and the basic question for today is the question of how an ordinary man is to live in times of ubiquitous reduction, crisis and unemployment? Mikołaj Rudkowski’s surreal comedy is a perverse story about a theater that tries to get closer to life and a life that resembles an ordinary farce.
