A performance based on personal experiences

The performance “TATO” was based on the personal experiences, emotions and reflections of eight participants in the TATO Project. The material for the show was therefore the stories and thoughts of the fathers themselves, rather than a ready-made text prepared from outside.

Preparing the performance took several months and included several dozen hours of workshops. The documentary character of the show means that it is based on the real experiences of the participants, not on a fictional plot.

What the performance is about

The performance addresses contemporary fatherhood, family and human relationships. The title “TATO” (“Dad”) points to the personal perspectives of fathers, while the subtitle promises a reflection on what matters most in fatherhood.

The event is aimed primarily at residents of Kraków, and especially at people interested in parenthood and family bonds.
