The Marriage

Witold Gombrowicz's "The Marriage" - one of the most outstanding plays in Polish literature, often compared to Mickiewicz's "Forefathers" or Shakespeare's "Hamlet". 

In a word: a must. Just like the play by Mikołaj Grabowski, a director who feels and understands the world of Gombrowicz like no one else. According to Grabowski, "The Wedding" is a precisely drawn story about the fears of today's young man, who - entering life in the sense of the anarchy, downfall and uncertainty of tomorrow - rebels against the existing reality. What is he to do? Surrender to this world without rules? for better? Or maybe to respect the old forms? ...

"The Wedding", produced by Mikołaj Grabowski with the actors of Teatr Powszechny, movingly exposes the tough rules governing people in relations with others, shows the gradual deprivation of youthful ideals and illusions, and tracks the mechanism of the emergence of totalitarianisms.

The performance is strong and very contemporary. Affecting important matters. Attractive formally. Implemented on a grand scale. Addictive. You have certainly not seen such a "wedding"!

The performance was awarded a refund in the 2nd edition of the Competition for the Staging of Old Works of Polish Literature "Klasyka Żywa", organized by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and the Zbigniew Raszewski Theater Institute.
