actress of a play with a hand on her throat. Songs from the repertoire of Eva Demarczyk
Modern Theater of Warsaw. Premiere January 14, 2023
"...The characters in which we incarnate were basically a reference point for us to search for, build relationships in the group, some kind of characteristic feature. How we receive incentives, what we fear, and what we give to others. On this basis, we built a whole. It seems to me that my web, my black widow, is not so much dangerous for the environment as it is dangerous for itself because of the decisions it makes, and sometimes because of some bitter structures that are in it. The whole performance is a return to what is inside us, which we are also ashamed of, which, perhaps, does not quite suit us. Make an account of your conscience...”

Conversation with Anną Sroką Hryń
.. Valdemar Milevich was truly a pioneer and passionate. Yes, it was a dangerous job, even a very dangerous one, because it ended tragically. He knew it was possible; he had often been on both sides of a conflict, in very dangerous places. I was very fascinated by the uniqueness of this character. I remember his program "strange world", his reports. But I also remember his eyes. I remember that there was a lot of sadness in those eyes. They were eyes that saw a lot…

Interview with Slawomir Grzymkowski
After the end of the 2021/2022 theater season at the Drama Theater in Warsaw, I spoke with Slawomir Grzymkowski.
.. Anya vecherov allows such participation. She is a partner and allows the actor to collaborate on creating a role, as well as offer ideas for the character or ideas for resolving scenes. So it was at the last premiere of "Amadeus", as well as earlier during the rehearsals of "the art of intonation"…

Interview with Jakub Gąsowski

Jun 29, 2021 |

co-director of the Sinatra 100+ show and its actor
Theater Academy in Warsaw. Premiere June 29, 2021
"My love for Frank Sinatra and his music was the main driving force behind the performance we just made: SINATRA 100+. This is my long-standing passion for this music, for swing music, for jazz music, for big band music, where there are trumpets, trombones, saxophones, a whole rhythm section. All of this has always resonated in my head. I've always wanted to play with a big band, and for a few years now, when I got into drama school and got on stage at the Collegium Nobilium, I thought, Yeah, this is where I'd like to put on a show about Frank Sinatra someday”"

Rozmowa z Weroniką Szczawińską

Interview with Weronika Szczawińska

Jun 26, 2021 |

director of the play club
Theater Academy in Warsaw. Premiere June 26, 2021
"...this was their need, because in a sense they recognized the type of structural discrimination that exists in the theater environment, in the foundations of our theater, somewhere out there from the very beginning of the artistic path, which is education. That women, when placed in the classical repertoire, find much less space to express themselves. So, whatever it was, their need was to speak out and speak out on the case, to have their own subjectivity and voice on stage. Do theater consciously and responsibly. And the great thing is that the Academy followed them. Our performance was created as part of the school's " Change now!" program, which is part of the broad implementation of the anti – discrimination policy..”

Jun 26, 2021 |

actresses and co-creators of the play KLUB directed by Weronika Szczawińska
Theater Academy in Warsaw. Premiere June 26, 2021
"...this show, even though it's about violence, it's so light and so around the subject. Sometimes it can be uncomfortable for the viewer, if it is, then it is a deliberate treatment. I don't think that it can somehow touch and make you very uncomfortable, that something is too much, that this topic is too heavy. It's cool and consciously guided by the director that we also get satisfaction talking about important and difficult things, and the audience can have their own reflexes, which is more important than their own discomfort...”

Rozmowa z Pawłem Sztarbowskim

Interview with Paweł Sztarbowski

Jun 19, 2021 |

playwright of the play JĄDRO CIEMNOŚCI directed by Paweł Łysak
General Theater in Warsaw. Premiere: June 18, 2021
Core of Darkness provides powerful material for describing this emergency on a global scale. It is through the character of Kurtz. Through the form of this greedy, indomitable monster, capable of killing people, destroying nature. It says that he may even have dug underground to extract ivory fossils. And this Kurtz seems like a figure describing today's greedy capitalism and modern corporations. And it's not about such a banal translation. This is what we wanted to avoid in the play. We are rather creating a kind of metaphorical story, but these two themes: the thread of colonization and the ecological thread were the most important for us...”

Rozmowa z Joanną Drozdą

Conversation with Joanna Drozda

Jun 4, 2021 |

director of the performance WARSAW LEGENDS
Rusalki Theater. Premiere on June 4, 2021.
The play is a joint venture between the Warsaw Theater and the Rusalki Theater
"...We are returning to the formula that was very popular in the Rusalka theater-the formula of the theater program. Programs have been staged in Sirena since its first premiere back in Lodz in 1945, because Jerzy Jurandot and Stefania Hrodna founded the theater there. Shows were also staged after moving to Warsaw in 1948, in fact, until the nineties. They consisted of thematically related skits, dramatic scenes, monologues, or songs. And so it will be with us, too. We are returning to this format because it seems to me easy and enjoyable enough to be an answer to the needs of the audience after all our closure, retreat and difficulties that we have experienced over the past year and a half. ...”

director of the play hymns
Theater Academy in Warsaw. Premiere on March 6, 2020.
Diploma work of students in Musical theater acting skills
"...To be honest, at that age I had no idea how to take care of a baby, how it functions, what its needs are, its daily routine. How to entertain them, put them to sleep. They can do it all. They received in the package with the diploma, as you well called it, seminars on parental care, seminars on care ...”

actress of the play "hymns" directed by Anna Smolar
Theater Academy in Warsaw. Premiere on March 6, 2020.
Diploma work of students in Musical theater acting skills
"Anya, I sometimes have this feeling, you need to get rid of absolutely everything that you can. To be here and now, to react as you want at this moment. It's a situation of a bit of discomfort, and on the other hand, it's a feeling of being here and now, I can't explain it any better, but it's absolutely driving without restraint. And I like it...”

Interview with Wojciech Kościelniak

Feb 29, 2020 |

director of the play CAPTAIN THE BETRAY AND THE YELLOW SATURATOR
Rusalki Theater in Warsaw. Premiere: February 29, 2020
"Seriously, it was a case of two stories following each other being comical. However, I think the moment has come when it's worth looking at comics, because they built the modern generation. My feeling is that the next generation will make comics based on computer games”because they grew up doing it, and it's natural..."

Interview with Michal Juraszek

Feb 29, 2020 |

Actor of the play Captain WBIK and Yellow SATURATOR, directed by Wojciech Kościelnak
Rusalki Theater in Warsaw. Premiere: February 29, 2020
"My adventure started in Wroclaw at the Capitol Music Theater. I graduated from high school of music at the Capitol Theater. There, after those years of study, for various reasons, I decided that I would try to enroll exclusively in the theater academy, when I found out that there was a direction for acting in musical theater. This direction was created a year earlier, and it was completed, among others, by Karolina Sheptytskaya and Karolina Gvozd, who are with us in the ensemble of the play "Captain wildcat". ”

actresses of the play FIZYCY directed by Marcin Hycnar
Theater Academy in Warsaw. Premiere on January 27 and 28, 2020.
Diploma performance by students of the Faculty of Acting
"We are talking about responsibility for our actions and the responsibility of science for the future destinies of the world. The elite's responsibility for modern society. What it doesn't do, and what it should do. This is not moralism on our part. We are moving very far away from this,but we are asking the question: does this particular elite do as much as it should? For me, this is the most important thing in this performance...”

Rozmowa z Jarosławem Kilianem

Interview with Jarosław Kilian

Dec 28, 2019 |

the director of the play UCIECHY STAROPOLSKIE
Theater Collegium Nobilium, a theater Academy in Warsaw. Premiere on December 28, 2021.
"...So it is, here are these fluffy Rybaltov texts collected from various sources, I tried to string together on one topic, and this topic is the figure of the " naked "or " staff", that is, the death that these amusements are supposed to push out, and yet it still appears. We look at it as if it were a Polish Decameron, where among the crude jokes, among the erotic subtexts, among the Smich-giggles, the shadow of death appears, which is inexorably approaching. But death, which is the executor of the Divine will, and then these whiny, shabby farces take on perhaps more significance. These jokes in the shadow of death can resemble such an attempt to tame the inevitable ...”

Rozmowa z Januszem Opryńskim

Interview with Janusz Oprinski

Dec 13, 2019 |

director of the play Demons
Drama Theater m.st, Warsaw. Premiere on December 13, 2019.
"...I think that they are attracted to the literature that we choose, that it is a text. Text strength. I'm not afraid to say this, these are literary masterpieces. And this is some kind of difficulty, because a literary masterpiece can make fun of us. In this work, we allow ourselves such a long creative process. There is a place for contextual reading. It unites and builds us. The process of staging a play is self-education. Then I hope that this uniform that we will come up with for ourselves is a dream that we had in rehearsals ...”
