Two performances about passing
The weekend at Teatr KTO has been conceived as a time for reflection on what life is and how inevitably it passes. The organisers have invited audiences to two performances that address the same theme through different means: the first leads the viewer through successive stages of a biography, the second draws on the work of William Shakespeare.
Placing both titles in a single weekend makes it possible to see the shared theme from two perspectives. Below is a summary of dates and cast, in line with the announcement.
| Date | Time | Performance | Director |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 October 2026 | 19.00 | “Arcadia” | Jerzy Zoń |
| 31 October 2026 | 19.00 | “Shakespeare’s Sonnets” | Małgorzata Warsicka |
“Arcadia”: a return to the stage
“Arcadia”, directed by Jerzy Zoń, is set to return to the stage after earlier presentations. The performance belongs to the body of work associated with this director, and its place in the weekend’s programme fits its themes of life and passing.
The production guides viewers through successive stages of life: childhood, youth, love, adulthood and passing. Choreography is by Eryk Makohon. The performance is scheduled for 30 October 2026, at 19.00.
“Shakespeare’s Sonnets”: the transience of life
“Shakespeare’s Sonnets”, directed by Małgorzata Warsicka, with music by Karol Nepelski, addresses the transience of life through an interpretation of the work of William Shakespeare. It is the second performance of the weekend, scheduled for 31 October 2026, at 19.00.
The programme pairs this title with “Arcadia” through a shared reference to passing, although each performance uses different means of expression: one relies on leading viewers through the stages of life, the other on the poetry of a Renaissance author.
