(A)pollonia, Théâtre National, 4., 5., 6. December
With (A)pollonia, one of the most powerful stage works of the current European theatre season, the most visible representative of Polish theatre, Kzysztof Warlikowski makes a return from the best European theatre companies and festivals, where he is always a welcome guest director, to his native Warsaw. This is where in 2008 he founded a new theatre - Nowy Teatr. And this is where (A)pollonia was first performed; the premiere was followed by a tour of theatre festivals (the Vienna and Avignon festivals) and a string of European cities.
For the Eastern European theatre, the piece is quite unusual in its content: the production explores a phenomenon of the 20th-century history which Eastern Europeans are quite happy to avoid - namely, the processes that took place in the souls of people during World War II when they witnessed the extermination of the Jewish population of their villages and towns - people who were victims, executioners and bystanders. In his five-hour theatrical journey Warlikowski uses texts borrowed from Ancient Greek and Latin literature, modern Polish journalism, Indian philosophy and Western European literature, as well as a huge musical soundtrack, to try and inspect the depths of the human soul.
