How We Screwed Everything Up

Why do we, as humanity, make the same mistakes over and over again? The painful topicality of this question is evidenced by a number of discredited ideas (such as democracy, religion, revolution), wars constantly breaking out and rampant pseudo-scientific phantasmagorias. However, in the show the swelling human fears, traumas and frustrations are “disarmed” in a distorting mirror of wit, humour and grotesque.   

She and He – suspended beyond time and space, the appearance of which evokes the world of circus, cabaret, revue and fair panopticom, take us on a journey through several centuries. However, during this trip, they keep looking for love and partnership.  

Songs performed live, mostly hits of popular music, become an important complement to the meanings and emotions presented in the show.

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.
