Arcadia

A picturesque tale about life – a musical and dynamic journey through all its stages. While the show is running we can slow down and take a look at what really matters. We can sit on one of the nine benches that make up the stage set, laugh out loud or nostalgically look into the past. It is also a concert composed of amazing sounds, including songs by Dead Can Dance, Stevie Wonder, Doris Day, the cult soldier song The Army Reserve and the monumental aria from the opera Madame Butterfly. In the climate of the 1950s and 1960s, thanks to the superb costumes, we will search for Arcadian afterimages. Because the land of happiness really exists and is entitled Arcadia.

Informacje o wykonawcy
The KTO Theatre was established in 1977. Its first production was The Garden of Delight. The initial ten performances were closed to the general public and presented to no more than several hundred people. In the following year, however, they were attended by the audience of nearly three thousand in Krakow and various Polish cities. In the 47th year of the company’s operation the statistics are considerably different: over 80 productions, performed indoors and outdoors in Poland and around the world, have been attended by more than three million people. The group has visited over 250 cities in over 40 countries on 5 continents. Its shows have been presented in Brazil, China, Iran, Japan, Canada, Colombia, South Korea, Costa Rica, Mexico, Tunisia, the USA and almost all European countries. The worldwide stature of the KTO Theatre has also been reflected in its involvement in numerous international projects. Among the most important ones there were Operation Opera, a show created together with the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo, and The Refugees, a theatre installation presented in Leipzig to the audience of 120 000 viewers on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since 2021 the seat of the KTO Theatre has been located at 50 Jana Zamoyskiego Street in the Podgórze district of Krakow. It was created as a result of the revitalization of the former building of the Wrzos Cinema Theatre. The company’s director is Jerzy Zoń.
