Dziady Recycling Festival
Founded it 1993 in Delphi, Greece, the Theatre Olympics is an international theatre festival that stages the work of some of the world’s foremost theatre makers. The event is the brainchild of Greek director Theodoros Terzopoulos. So far, six editions of the Olympics were organized, each under a different motto: in Delphi (1995, Tragedy), Shizuoka (1999, Creating Hope), Moscow (2001, Theatre for the People), Istanbul (2006, Beyond Borders), Seoul (2010, Sarang – Love and Humanity) and Beijing (2014, Dream). Presided over by Theodoros Terzopoulos, the International Committee of the Theatre Olympics consists of Tadashi Suzuki, Robert Wilson, Wole Soyinka, Tony Harrison, Ratan Tiyam, Nuria Espert, Giorgio Barberio Corsetti, Georges
Lavaudant, Antunes Filho, Jürgen Flimm, Choi Chy-Rim Walerij Fokin, Liu Lubin and Jarosław Fret. The motto of this year’s edition, The World as a Place of Truth, is a paraphrase of the title of the speech that Jerzy Grotowski gave in 1976 (published in 1979), in which he contends that ‘We enter the world to pass through it. We are tested by the world, and the world is a place of truth. In any case, the world should be a place of truth.’ According to Theodoros Terzopoulos, many questions are being asked about the nature of today’s theatre, its changing function and its future. This is why the 7th Theatre Olympics stands in defence of tradition, but also encourages free expression and recognises the need for theatre research and experimentation.

Interdisciplinary teams of researchers entered the space of small towns of Lower Silesia in order to listen to their stories. Their findings became the basis for animation works. The crowning achievement of the project is the conference of the University Network of the European Capitals of Culture (UnEEC). Research were carried out in 7 towns from January to March. Then, a seminar was held in each town for the representatives of local governments and residents
presenting the results. In the period from June to September the towns were visited by animations: bands of trombonists, visual artists, and dancers.

Play with Glass – European Glass Festival Organised since 2012, European Glass Festival is the first in Poland professionally prepared presentation of the European glass art. It is very popular among artists creating pieces made out of glass or using glass and it is becoming one of the most important events in this area in Europe. The choice of Wrocław as the venue for the European Festival of Glass “Play with Glass” was not accidental. The history of glass in Poland is

closely connected with the area of Lower Silesia – glassworks were created here in the Middle Ages. It is also at the E. Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław that Poland’s only Department of Ceramics and Glass has been operating since 1946. And it is in Lower Silesia: in Wrocław, Jelenia Góra, and Kłodzko, that there are museum collections of historic and contemporary glass, and just 100 km from Wrocław the
world famous Studio Borowski is located. As part of the Festival, main exhibition and accompanying exhibitions, international seminar devoted to glass an important medium in the contemporary art, presenting works of the European artists using this material in their works, as well as Debut exhibition – the author of the individual exhibition held during the Festival appoints a student or a young artist who, in his opinion, deserves presenting own works.

20 unique artworks at “INFLOW. Young Polish contemporary art” exhibition Nearly 180 portfolios were submitted to a competition “INFLOW. Young Polish contemporary art”. The event of the European Capital of Culture Wroclaw 2016, organized in cooperation with Credit Suisse as the main partner of the Visual Arts programme, is dedicated to young Polish artists and gives them a chance to present their artworks at an exhibition this early autumn. “We have received a number of interesting submissions and the process of
selection of the most striking, insightful and skilfully realized artworks had proven a great challenge. The studio visits and meetings with the chosen artists have only confirmed the diversity and competence of young Polish art. The resulting exhibition of about 20 artists concludes this research period and seeks to highlight the most intriguing ideas and inspiring artworks,” said Małgorzata Miśniakiewicz, curator of the exhibition. “We are proud
to support young and promising Polish artists whose art otherwise might not have been heard or seen. Therefore, we would like to invite everybody interested in visual arts from emerging and innovative talents to visit the exhibition” said Angus Kidd, President of the Management Board of Credit Suisse (Poland) sp. z o.o. The winning works will be selected by jury including: Michał Bieniek, Curator of ECoC 2016 visual arts programme and André Rogger, Head Curator of Credit Suisse’s art collection.

language. These were the creative strategies of Kajzar, Karpowicz, and Różewicz – creators sensitive to the surrounding reality and constantly experimenting in their search for the reality’s artistic embodiment. We refer to a long and rich dramatic tradition of Wrocław and the Wrocław Contemporary Theatre. In the ‘60s and ‘70s works by the patrons of our project set a programme profile of the stage at Rzeźnicza Street. Their works were part of the category of the most innovative and experimental theatrical phenomena in Poland; they were the evidence of the creative risk the authors had taken. Those plays were also staged during the Festival of Contemporary Polish Plays; they won several

It is no accident, referring to this tradition, that we made Kajzar, Karpowicz, and Różewicz the patrons of the ZONES OF CONTACT 2016 project and the October Patrons’ Days are going to be dedicated to them. We believe that the three creators from Wrocław may be interesting for the contemporary spectator and inspiring for the contemporary authors in many different ways – above all, through their texts, but also through their uncompromising and consequently executed independent creative attitude.

ZONES OF CONTACT 2016 – a project of the Wrocław Contemporary Theatre – as part of the programme of the European Capital of Culture includes, among others, co-productions and own stage performances of texts by Helmut Kajzar, Tymoteusz Karpowicz, and Tadeusz Różewicz; as well as a drama competition and presentation of the latest plays of Polish authors almost straight after they have been written. Not only playwrights are invited to take part in the competition but also screenwriters, poets, prose writers, publicists, actors, and performers who debut here in new roles.

“Human of the Anthropocene” Conference
C

Y
The “Human of the Anthropocene” conference is going to crown the “Human of the Anthropocene” block of the “Wrocław City/Lab of Future” programme carried out at Pracze Campus of the EIT+Wrocław Research Centre. The block, which includes animation, promoting, and artistic actions, shall be dedicated to discussing the epoch-making anthropological change: acknowledging that the human being is the main factor of change in the ecosystem range, which is reflected not only in a living ecosystem and climatic
24
processes but also in the geological processes. In 2016, the process of scientific legitimization of anthoropocene will enter the final stage; the Anthropocene Working Party of the International Union of Geological Sciences shall present an official report initiating the scientific procedure. The term “anthropocene” is widely discussed but also criticised not only in the scientific circles. The new ecological awareness is accompanied by interesting disputes and frictions where the way of thinking and culture in times of human’s full responsibility for
Earth becomes visible. During the conference, we would like to introduce the atmosphere of the quarrel stretching from the science to culture, but also to present specific ideas and less concrete visions of life in anthropocene. The conference, of a mixed character, will be co-created by the artists preparing the “Human of the Anthropocene” exhibition and the invited scientists and thinkers.

The goal of the authors of this initiative is very ambitious and requires help of the residents of the city. This is what they say about their neighbourhood: “You can see a lot of green areas which are extremely untended; they are a blot on the landscape. Part of them has been intentionally ruined, part of them just deteriorates because the residents do not care about the public space. That is why we want to bring them back to life and rescue their original function – place for relax, meetings, and integration”. Everyone’s invited for the grande finale of the project, joint cleaning and neighbourly picnic. Venue: square by ul. Libelta, Sępolno Organizer: “Razem dla Sępolna” Group
