Death and Laughter

Wrzące Ciała

“The feelings and moods that swept the audience with nearly superhuman amplitude frequently changed gear from euphoria to despair – and all that in a matter of seconds. Death and Fool played us like instruments that are slightly out of tune but ready.”

Anna Viljanen

Two loners, old souls from completely different worlds are given a chance to decide whether their meeting will bring happiness or catastrophe. Fate has brought together Death and Clown. These two opposing personalities clash, leading to an emotional shock that may bring about a new beginning. The show broaches the topics of crossing the limits of one’s comfort zone and discovering new possibilities using all sorts of techniques – dance, miming, acrobatics, and clowning. What will come out of the meeting of these two personalities? Let’s see for ourselves during this tense performance full of unexpected twists and turns.

Creators Wrzące Ciała consists of Aleksandra Batko – actress, graduate of The National Academy of Theatre Arts in Cracow and Maja Rękawek – a graduate of The Maria Grzegorzewska Pedagogical University in Warsaw. Both have been involved in physical theatre for the past three years. Music for the show has been composed by Paweł Odorowicz – a graduate of the Music Academy in Cracow, violist, instrumentalist, composer, producer, arranger. He’s a recipient of many awards and scholarships and currently works with CHOREA theatre and Leszek Mądzik.
