Wilderness. wilderness

“WILDERNESS” is a show about masculinity. Imaginary masculinity, perhaps imperceptible on a daily basis. This performance is painted by a woman, depicting five men on stage in great mindfulness, complicity and deep presence. It is an attempt to meet and see if there is room for tenderness, sensitivity and the resulting strength. The show is an expression of love and care for men, a balance of hardness — softness. Does it matter that it is the woman choreographer who invites you to create such a world? Our “Roads” is a delicate rupture of a certain reality, which gives a chance for something new to emerge.

The idea for Wasteland had to be born out of tenderness towards man, because Marta Wołowiec's performance is a delicate journey into the depths of male (but also human) feelings. Gathering a group of open-minded people, combined with an unusual idea for the show, resulted in something that resonates in the viewer after the performance ended. You go to the theater for that kind of vibe.
