Echoes
This performance without words is a theatrical impression about the eastern borderlands of Poland. The narrative of the show is carried out through live music – wonderful instrumental pieces and songs performed by the actors. Images that appear in front of the viewers take them to the world of multiple cultures, nationalities and religions, to the reality of the eastern borderlands of Poland at the time before and after the Second World War. The performance is focused on the themes of migration and resettlement which until recently seemed to belong to the past. But, unfortunately, that past has returned to us with all its might.
The audience will be guided in this journey by the original stage movement created by Natalia Iwaniec with the use of the Gaga technique, a unique movement language developed by Ohad Naharin.

Teatr Migro | Poland
The group was established in Kraków in 2019 at the initiative of Monika Kozłowska and Justyna Wójcik. The Migro Theatre performers, professionally linked to the KTO Theatre and inspired by its artistic projects, combine the experience gained there with the themes they find interesting and with their own artistic research. Acting space for the Migro Theatre’s productions is found in streets, squares and green areas of small towns and large cities. Its wordless shows are built upon gesture, dance and mimicry – a theatre language that comes across to each and every viewer. The name ”Migro” bears reference to the migratory character of street theatre and at the same time it emphasises the subjects of the group’s artistic exploration – migrating communities and random encounters in our everyday life.
