Blokowisko<\/em> revives a lost cinematic vision of Oscar laureate Andrzej Wajda\u2014a true story he heard from an actor in 1972 but never brought to the screen. Marking the centenary of Wajda\u2019s birth, this contemporary dance-theatre work gives the story a body and a voice for the first time, weaving live electronic music, socially charged choreography and immersive three-screen video into a landscape of memory, loss and resilience. Created by composer-performer Blanka Barbara Stahl with BAFTA-winning choreographer Anthony Matsena and producer Ignatius Sokal (UNTOLD Productions), BLOKOWISKO premiered to a sold-out house at London\u2019s Southbank Centre in March 2026 and is presented under the patronage of Krystyna and Daniel Olbrychski, close friends of Andrzej Wajda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
