In 2017 Tomaszewski directed It Pina Hadn't Smoked She'd Be Alive at the Jerzy Szaniawski Drama Theatre in Walbrzych and Cezary Goes to War at Komuna Warszawa.\nKomuna Warszawa explores key issues of the contemporary world, ceaselessly seeking new forms and means of expression. Since 2007, Komuna has been an important venue for theatre performances, as well as performance art pieces, lectures, film and video-art screenings, concerts and discussions. Komuna Warszawa has taken part in some of the most prestigious festivals in Poland and the world, performing at such venues as La MaMa in New York City, HAU in Berlin or 104Centquatre in Paris.\nConceived and directed by: Cezary Tomaszewski,Costumes by Bracia (Agnieszka Klepacka, Maciej Chorazy)Lighting by Antoni GralekDramaturgy by Justyna Wasik, Klaudia Hartung-W\u00f3jciakMusic by: Claude Debussy, Georg Friedrich Handel, Stanislaw Moniuszko, Dimitry SchostakovichCast: Michal Dembinski, Oskar Malinowski, Bartosz Ostrowski, Lukasz Stawarczyk, Weronika Krowka (pianist)The production will be performed in Polish with English subtitles.\nMORE ABOUT CEZARY TOMASZEWSKI"},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/2020\/04\/18\/us-premiere-of-komuna-warszawas-cezary-goes-to-war-directed-by-cezary-tomaszewski\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/04\/Cezary-1024x6822.1.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/04\/Cezary-1024x6822.1.jpg","width":350,"height":233},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/2020\/04\/18\/us-premiere-of-komuna-warszawas-cezary-goes-to-war-directed-by-cezary-tomaszewski\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"US Premiere of Komuna Warszawa\u2019s \u201eCEZARY GOES TO WAR\u201d directed by Cezary Tomaszewski"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/","name":"Instytut Polski w Nowym Jorku","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"pl-PL"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/#\/schema\/person\/8655c3aa9aedacd785b301216bc109b6","name":"smolarskit","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/12b7826139cd8224865e19000a93f9a9?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/12b7826139cd8224865e19000a93f9a9?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"smolarskit"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/author\/smolarskit\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/131"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1014"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1014\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1016,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1014\/revisions\/1016"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
