Ivona, Princess of Burgundia

I am rewarding Tyszkiewicz for the harmony of all elements, means and possibilities created by theater. For taking the best of tradition, for incorporating it into your own, brilliant theater. I would also like to thank you for the hope this director has created. Hope that theater can be beautiful, joyful, sad, witty and, above all, wise at the same time.

Jerzy Trela

Tyszkiewicz's play is an exceptional work - and not only in the Wałbrzych theater. The uniqueness of this performance also lies in the fact that - in order to stick to the "hydrological" metaphors - in the flood of mediocrity that has flooded Polish theater for several years, a high professional level performance appeared, surprisingly interpreted, humorously referring to the currently fashionable trends, sometimes pasticering Almodóvar , referring to burlesque, but still faithful to the letter of Gombrowicz's text.

Tomasz Mościcki "Odra", June 9, 2006

But he has a hand for debutants Wałbrzych father director Kruszczyński! (...) The entire prize pool in Opole at the Polish Classics Festival and a performance that rivaled the first productions of Grzegorz Jarzyna with bravado. Tyszkiewicz presents Gombrowicz's "Iwona" arrogantly, covers them with pop-culture clichés, makes an intertract after 20 minutes, and mocks this or that character every now and then. He tells Filip (the phenomenal Rafał Kosecki) to kick Iwona's corpse out of the garden and pretend in front of the court that she is a living and attractive girl. Every scene is a staging discovery, an acting banquet, scenographic madness. It's been a long time since I left the theater with such madness in my eye.
