A Christmas Carol

Author: Charles Dickens

Text and direction: Jakub Krofta , Maria Wojtyszko

The MOS Stage - The MOS Stage

A Christmas Carol bears as much relevance today as it did in Dickens' time. A world devoid of compassion and solidarity, in which an indifferent rich man determines the lives of entire families, did not end when humanity entered the post-modern era. Nevertheless, the authors of the play do not want to dwell on this grim diagnosis. Their aim is to look with compassion and understanding at the character of Ebeneezer Scrooge.

The stage setting of this Victorian story of a miser haunted by ghosts serves merely as a pretext to talk about the misery of a man who does not love himself. Because Scrooge, much like the mythical Narcissus, only sees the surface, and is incapable of introspection, and thus of love. In this sense, the central character of A Christmas Carol is more of a victim of the circumstances in which he happens to live than a villain. His transformation is not only a shift from egoism to empathy, but also breaking free of the stereotypical perception of one' s role in the world.

Produced in collaboration with the National Bank of Poland.

Anew

: Gosia Jakubowska Raczkowska

: Justyna Arabska

The Juliusz Słowacki Theatre in Krakow - The Machine House [Miniature] Stage

Four friends and someone who is only here for a while. Fun, old age and big dreams.

The characters in the play are close to each other. They spend time together, discuss life, support each other, know about each other's weaknesses, witness each other's new infatuations as well as illnesses and ageing. They free themselves from the expectations imposed on them and start anew on their own terms.

The play is based on the stories of several older people interviewed by the script's creators. The themes that emerged from these conversations included the idea of freedom regained in adulthood – the absence of commitments towards their family and career, the feeling that ‘you no longer have to prove anything to anyone’ – as well as freedom defined as independence, which has to be fought for in order not to lose it. This ambiguous situation that comes with old age leads to new loves, decisions to relocate, the desire to pursue your dreams, to reclaim your physical well-being, or the need to make a film about the political situation in the world.

The performance shows that sometimes it's not too late to implement even the craziest plans, though it may prove difficult.

Australia

: Tadeusz Pyrczak

The Juliusz Słowacki Theatre in Krakow - The Machine House [Miniature] Stage

The show, under the working title ‘Australia’, will invite the audience to an interactive encounter with anxiety-ridden characters, struggling with both latent individual phobias and the increasingly widespread fear of nuclear war. We will tell the story of a family that ends up in an airport in the middle of the night, frantically trying to get out of the country. In the intimate space of the Machine House, we will examine where our fears come from, how quickly we are able to transmit them to one another, and what they can lead to. We will ask: How do we distinguish between what appears to be valid and what might be considered paranoia? Just how bizarre states and reactions can anxiety lead us to? Is there a way to effectively make people feel safe? And how often is our own helplessness the source of our dread?

Botticelli

Author: Jordan Tannahill

: Marta Orczykowska

Direction: Paweł Świątek

The MOS Stage - The MOS Stage

Florence, the reign of the Medici family. The apex of painting, but also time of plague and social unrest. Botticelli, favoured by the rulers, was commissioned to paint a portrait of Lorenzo de' Medici's wife. And thus ‘The Birth of Venus’ comes into being, with a significant contribution of Botticelli’s gifted young student – Leonardo da Vinci. The two men develop a feeling for each other...

Cracks of Existence

: Iwona Kempa

The Juliusz Słowacki Theatre in Krakow - The Machine House [Miniature] Stage

[...] one cannot be satisfied with the role of an unwitting performer of existential activities. And inself-defence,
one must pursue the meaning of everyday life as if it were a lurking criminal.

We are going to philosophise. Though perhaps philosophising may seem like the wrong term in this case, because it is associated with the mind, and here it's about philosophising with the body, philosophising about what we experience, and how we experience it as carnal beings. As beings in female bodies. Philosophising is mostly associated with the "heights" of the human (meaning: male) intellect, and to many it seems the opposite of a daily routine filled with trivial activities. We, on the other hand, wish to philosophise about the ordinary, the banal, the trivial, about the cleaning up, the busyness, the puttering around and tending to everything. About the daily labour that is the essence of our existence. This is where we’ll be searching for the meaning and properties of our human-female existence. In the existential reality that takes the form of a washcloth, a cherry fruit or a piece of meat.

Forefathers' Eve

Author: Adam Mickiewicz

Direction: Maja Kleczewska

The Juliusz Słowacki Theatre in Krakow - The Grand Stage

A premiere on the 120th anniversary of the first performance of ‘Forefathers' Eve’ as staged by Stanisław Wyspiański.

‘Forefathers' Eve’ Anno Domini 2021 is a play about Poland. After 120 years, the Romantic drama returns to the Słowacki Theatre. Remembering the productions directed by Wyspiański, Dejmek, Swinarski, Grzegorzewski, we know that this arch-Polish drama is about our subconscious retrotopia, about the ‘undead’ past and its ‘undead’ demons.

A community of a bloody ritual and the conformist salon are the two faces of Poland, encountered by Wyspiański along with the spectres at the same wedding.

God, Me and Money

Text, direction, set design:: Maciej Wojtyszko

The Juliusz Słowacki Theatre in Krakow - The Machine House [Miniature] Stage

‘God, Me and Money’ is a somewhat amusing, somewhat sad story about great love. Love that sometimes overtakes us completely unexpectedly...

We meet the protagonist, Maria, while she's doing her daily shopping. This seemingly ordinary situation turns out to be the starting point of fascinating and moving confessions of a mature woman, who is at the same time naive and wise, lost and heroic, ordinary and extraordinary.
