Witkacy Theatre from Zakopane, Poland presents LINIE RÓWNOLEGŁE -- an extraordinary collage of songs by the two most famous Polish cabaret masters from the 1920s and 1930s (Julian Tuwim and Antoni Słonimski), including excerpts from various past productions. The show is an art salon a la Witkacy, a mixture of word-event-situation songs. A sentimental journey through
the history of Polish theatre, enriched by dramatic elements and gags.
The cast of 22 will sing, dance, act and take you on an unforgettable journey back in time.
The small Witkacy theatre is one of the most cherished theatres in Poland. It was founded in 1984 in tribute to a Zakopane legend, Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz (1885-1939). Witkiewicz was a multitalented artist, who was known as 'Witkacy' to his friends.
Several of Witkacy's witty, spirited plays still sound fresh today, and they are all regularly performed at this theatre.
