Alojzy Lysko's text defeats and purifies. It is simple, noble and true.

He talks about Silesian fates, in which we find echoes of family stories. The outstanding Grażyna Bułka crosses the boundaries of acting. Thanks to her talent and excellent text, we again sit at the kitchen table and listen to our mother, grandmother or aunt, swallowing tears. Silesia in the background. The earth is cursed and holy.

Alojzy Lyska's excellent text - The Story of Upper Silesia won the Grand Prix of the Krystyna Bochenek National Journalism Competition. We did not change a word in it, but the title - with the permission of the author, we changed it to Mianujom mie Hank.

The show was created in cooperation with the Museum of Silesian Uprisings in Świętochlowice. Title of the first book edition: Like Niobe. The story of Upper Silesia.

A show for everyone — but in Silesian!
