XVII MFG Cruise. History

Competition performance of the XVII International Gombrowicz Festival. Izabella Cywińska New Theatre in Poznań

A story about the election and the price paid for it, a lesson in survival and a manual of sailing in the conditions of a historical storm.

The facts are as follows: in the summer of 1939 aboard the transatlantic “Chrobry” Gombrowicz sets off for Argentina. Almost a quarter of a century later, aboard the ship “Federico Costa”, he returns to Europe, but no longer to Poland. And if in imaginary space-time these two ships met — what would these two have to say to each other “on the high seas”? Strange characters roam the deck flooded by the waves of History, which will subject the protagonists to the most important test of maturity. But what answers are the right ones?

Attention! Strobe lights are used in the performance.
