REVENGE

Count Aleksander Fredro on Poles' neighborhood life. How many times have we laughed at the border wall dispute and Papkin's bluster? How many great and legendary acting creations have we gained from Revenge? However, this masterpiece of Polish literature is not only a classic of comedy — an elementary element of situational comedy, redrawn characters or verbal humor — but also one of the most critical pieces about Polishness, often mocking and in a strangely still current way mocking our national vices and weaknesses. A song whose blade begins to sting at us when the laughter passes. Revenge in the Och-Theater is an attempt to make a modern interpretation of this romantic comedy, telling about the conflict between Czesnik and Rejent, but at the same time mocking ourselves and the times in which we live.
A show with an absolutely audacious cast, directed by Waldemar Śmigasiewicz, a specialist in Gombrowicz known for his irony, staged on the occasion of the celebration of the year of Alexander Fredra.
