Kiss

Stage: Teatr Mały

Full of gentle humor, the moving art of Ger Thijs, one of the most popular contemporary authors in the Netherlands. Two strangers meet by chance on a mountain trail. They are both at a crossroads in life. He, once a promising comedian, today works in a recreation park in the guise of a teddy bear, she - a serious, formerly local beauty, is now waiting for important research results. Can the eponymous kiss bring them together forever?

Ger Thijs (born 1948) is a Dutch actor, director, translator, playwright, and one of the most popular contemporary theatre makers in the Netherlands. His plays are extremely popular, and the last three (including “The Kiss”) were among the nominations for the most important theater award given by the Dutch audience - Toneel Publieksprijs. “Kiss” is the first text translated into Polish by this author.

“The touching drama of the loneliness of two people. Magdalena Myszkiewicz creates the full-blooded role of a woman, swayed by experiences when she is diagnosed with cancer. Konrad Pawicki, who came to play an underappreciated man of the stage, makes his role a tribute to acting.”
