NOSE. THE ETERNAL QUEEN

Who really was Nina Andrych? A legendary actress, an icon of the Polish theater, the wife of the prime minister, a woman entangled in history, or perhaps above all an artist who remained faithful to the stage all her life?
“Nina. The Eternal Queen” — the latest play by Wojciech Faruga and Julia Holewińska is a tragicomedy in which facts are intertwined with fiction, and the story takes on a surprisingly contemporary dimension. Characters who co-created the 20th century appear on the stage — Józef Cyrankiewicz, Władysław Gomułka, Stalin, Aleksander Węgierko, Irena Eichlerówna, Pola Negri, or Robert Walter. Their fates mingle with fictional characters, creating a tale of power, art, and the price paid for immortality.
Full of humor, politically incorrect and full of comedic situations, Julia Holewińska's play becomes not only a potential biography of Nina Andrycz, but also a story about the fascinating relationship between theater and politics. This is a story about a world in which roles are played not only on stage, but also in life.
Nina Andrycz played queens for decades — she played dozens of them. In the play, she returns to such memorable roles as Mary Stuart, Cleopatra, Ophelia. With distance, irony and courage, he looks at his life, revealing the backstage of the theater: its splendors and shadows, great ambitions, painful sacrifices and boundless love for art.
“Nina. The Eternal Queen” is a show with a passion stronger than history, the price of fame and the fact that every great role begins where private life ends. It is also a story about different patterns of femininity and the fact that living in harmony with oneself always comes at a price.
