Jasieński
Sunday, April 29, 2018, 7:30 PM
This play about Bruno Jasieński – a boy genius who took a wrong turn and was executed in the USSR – is a poetic portrait of an innovator and hooligan, his youthful rebellion and tragic entanglement in ideology. In recalling one of the most important figures of the Polish avant-garde, the creators of this play are looking at him through the lens of past complexities, without the tone of condemnation so often found in today's inquisitors.
Premiere 21 February 2014
Directed by: Ewa Wyskoczyl
Cast: Michał Majnicz

Stary National Theatre
ul. Jagiellońska 1
Stary National Theatre is one of the oldest theatres in Poland. Its contemporary repertoire consists of both contemporary works and reinterpretations of classics.
The theatre, which found its home in a historical building on a corner of Szczepański Square, is one of Poland’s national stages, directly managed by the Minister of Culture. In the 19th century, its stage was graced by the theatre’s current patron, a consummate actress, Helena Modrzejewska, known to the English-speaking world as Modjeska. A great many eminent artists trod the legendary boards of the Stary after the war, notably Tadeusz Kantor, Jerzy Grotowski, Zygmunt Hübner, and Krystian Lupa. The stagings of Adam Mickiewicz’s The Forefathers’ Eve directed by Konrad Swinarski and of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s The Possessed directed by Andrzej Wajda made history. The contemporary repertoire of the theatre consists both of current works and reinterpretations of classics.
