Polish theatre director Krzysztof Garbaczewski was invited to attend the SEA program at the Serendipity Arts Festival 2025 in Panjim, Goa, India, celebrating its 10th anniversary.
During the festival, Garbaczewski shared ideas centered on the use of virtual reality and digital media in theatre, proposing new models of performance. His work reflects a broader inquiry into how immersive technologies can expand theatrical language and redefine the relationship between performer, space, and viewer.

About the artist:

Krzysztof Garbaczewski (born 24 February 1983, Białystok, Poland) is a Polish theatre director and scenographer. He studied directing at the Ludwik Solski Academy for the Dramatic Arts in Kraków, where he worked with renowned director Krystian Lupa.

Garbaczewski is a co-founder of the Dream Adoption Society, an artistic collective that experiments at the intersection of theatre and VR/AR technologies.

In his productions, he combines classical texts (including works by Gombrowicz, Homer, Malinowski, and Wyspiański) with contemporary scenography, video projections, and installation-based forms, creating immersive theatrical “installations.”

He is a recipient of the prestigious Paszport Polityki Award, and his work has been presented at international festivals in cities including New York and Berlin.
