The piece was developed in collaboration with a Polish-Ukrainian team - including refugees - and dramaturg\u00a0Paul Bargetto.\nThe work is inspired by the personal stories of the dancers and rooted in extensive laboratory-based research. It explores the effects of trauma, exile, and alienation, framed by broader themes of war, identity, and the inescapable forces of history and geography.\nAgainst the numbing backdrop of televised and social media coverage, the performance shifts our focus to the bodies of the witnesses - their lived experiences transcribed into movement and time, reaching toward the spirit of ritual and myth.\nFrom Mariupol to Kharkiv, and across every place touched by war, artists and cultural institutions have been deliberately targeted in attempts to erase Ukrainian national identity. This project stands as an act of resistance against these crimes and a powerful statement of solidarity with Ukraine.\nPresented by Polish Cultural Institute in London and Adam Mickiewicz Institute as part of UK\/Poland Season 2025.\nBook Tickets here: Every Minute Motherland | The Place\nReviews of Every Minute Motherland\n\"The piece, was as oppressive as it was fascinating. [\u2026] Horrific in statement, frighteningly beautiful in artistic execution.\"\nHelmut Jasny\n\"It is an evening that leaves the emotions on the stage and invites the audience to watch this meditation on mourning. Everything remains incomprehensible and at the same time directly touching.\"\nTorben Ibs\nAbout Maciej Kuzminski\nMaciej Ku\u017ami\u0144ski, born in 1985, is a freelance Polish choreographer creating since 2014.\nHis works are described as pure, with grounded, dynamic movement, and revolve around existential and philosophy concepts.
