Their shared history with Tadeusz; his brilliance, his power, his demands, and the circumstances surrounding his death, becomes increasingly difficult to separate from the performance itself.\nWas his death an accident? Could it have been suicide? And what happens when admiration, artistic devotion and emotional dependence become impossible to untangle?\nAt the centre of the production is a deceptively simple puppet show: something playful, almost childish, which gradually becomes a vessel for grief, memory, disappointment and everything that cannot easily be said.\nSharp, funny and quietly devastating, Wznowienie explores artistic genius and its darker consequences, the complicated relationships between women and powerful men, and the emotional cost of devotion. It is a nuanced and deeply human story about creativity, trauma, love and the stories we tell ourselves in order to keep going.\nWhat begins as a revival of an old performance becomes something far more personal.\nA Unique Collaboration\nThis London production has a special connection to its author.\nMaciej Wojtyszko is personally connected to one of the actresses and has been collaborating with the company on this production, revisiting and rewriting parts of the text specifically for these performers.\nThe result is not simply a revival, but a living, evolving encounter between playwright, performers and the present moment.\nAbout the Playwright\nMaciej Wojtyszko\nMaciej Wojtyszko is one of Poland\u2019s most acclaimed directors, playwrights and screenwriters. His distinguished career spans more than five decades and includes landmark work across theatre, television and film.\nAs a director, he is known for major productions including Bulgakov\u2019s Ostatnie dni and The Master and Margarita, Gombrowicz\u2019s Ferdydurke, and Voltaire\u2019s Candide.\nHis work has been recognised with some of Poland\u2019s most prestigious honours, including the Leon Schiller Award (1990), the Officer\u2019s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta (2011) and the Norwid Award (2015).\nHis plays include Kraina k\u0142amczuch\u00f3w, Semiramida, Chryje z Polsk\u0105 and Dow\u00f3d na istnienie drugiego.\nThe Team\nDirector : Kirill Ivanov\nKirill Ivanov is a theatre and screen director whose work has been presented at numerous international festivals, including the Creative Horizons Festival (2023), Festival de Cine Hist\u00f3rico Tepe\u2026 5a Edici\u00f3n (2023), the Polish International Film Festival (2023) and The Most International Short Film Festival (2024).\nHe also worked for three years at the historic Alexandrinsky Theatre.\nKrystyna: Urszula Malka\nUrszula Malka is a renowned Polish actress and a former member of Lev Dodin\u2019s legendary repertory company at the Maly Drama Theatre, where she worked for 20 years.\nHer career has taken her to major theatres and stages across Poland, France, Italy, Germany, China and the United States, including New York's Baryshnikov Arts Centre. She has originated numerous leading roles, including the title role in Warszawska Melodia, and has appeared in productions including Lorenzaccio, Lunapark, Rusa\u0142ka and Nasza klasa.
