MUMBURGER
MUMBURGER
A two-person drama that, in a very unconventional and theatrical manner, explores the process of coping with trauma after the sudden death of a loved one. We meet a father (Rafał Kronenberger) and a daughter (Oliwia Zalewa), who are trying to rediscover themselves following the death of their wife and mother. It turns out that sharing this difficult experience might become an opportunity for them to deepen their relationship.
““One of the most interesting performances of the past season turned out to be the play ‘MUMBURGER’ [...] The performance can be seen at the Kochanowski Theatre in Opole—a theatre that is thoroughly modern and audience-friendly, which is not so obvious nowadays. The play was realized as part of the Actor’s Initiatives Stage, and it was a brilliant idea, especially due to the atmosphere of the stage.””

The protagonist of the play, Kisa, is a girl who becomes capable of speaking with her own heart. Through these dramatized dialogues, we gain access not only to her earliest memories but also to the realm of imagination where she escapes from troubles at home and school. Rebellious, honest, and emotionally torn, she must come to terms with herself and stop fleeing, as this escape begins to become destructive. The play is aimed at the "young adult" age group but avoids mimicking youth slang. It is written poetically and ambiguously, like a fairy tale, allowing viewers to connect with their own emotions.
“A Stellar Performance by Oliwia Zalewa.
It might seem that such a simple narrative device would not suffice to carry an entire play. Nothing could be further from the truth. Undoubtedly, this was largely due to the outstanding performance, as the actress masterfully captured all the emotional highs and lows of the main character.”

PREPARADISO. REALITY SHOW
Preparadiso is a pre-paradise, a purgatory, a place of last chances to change one's fate. And it is here that five protagonists meet. This is their only chance to fight for your attention. Because it is only up to you, the audience, to decide which story you will hear until the end. It’s also up to you to choose who will win this year’s edition of the “Preparadiso” show. Everything will happen live, with no cuts and no editing. The hosts promise not to interfere too much in the course of events. But we never know how the game will play out this time. It all depends on you. And a little bit on us.
The play won an award at the 12th Young Directing Forum (12. Forum Młodej Reżyserii) for addressing difficult social issues through intelligent comedy.
