Before each performance, a separate performance takes place behind the scenes, which viewers usually do not have the opportunity to see. This time it will be different. In the theater wardrobe, we catch a glimpse of two actresses — an experienced stage star and a young debutante — who are preparing to transform into Gertrude and Ophelia from “Hamlet”.

The dressing room mirrors become mirrors reflecting the actors' phenomenon of theatrical life, and the background turns into a stage where we will hear daring performances of songs with lyrics by Jack Cygan and music by, among others, Seweryn Krajewski, Piotr Rubik, Ryszard Rynkowski, Grzegorz Turnau or Zbigniew Wodecki
