Liberation

Polish national archdrama in the interpretation of one of the most famous Polish directors. Art about the need for national liberation understood as a spiritual upheaval that aims to liberate us from national vices, complexes and limitations. Wyspiański's drama seemingly takes place only in the theater, but in reality it takes place in a much more important sphere — in the sphere of the sublime, but also cursed, Polish panopticum.

The premiere of the play opening the new Big Stage of the Wybrzeże Theatre was also the premiere of this archdrama in Gdańsk and took place on the 120th anniversary of the Krakow premiere.

Stage smoke appears in the performance.From March 13, 2026, Katarzyna Borkowska will perform in the performance.
