Natalia has been in love with shows since a moment when she saw her first musical on TV one Sunday noon. She was 6 and since then she graduated from Cultural Studies and has worked for cultural festivals and theaters in Poland, France and Croatia.
What did our critic think of SOMETHING ROTTEN at Teatr Muzyczny W Gdyni? The show is great on every level, with a huge stage, many actors, impressive shorthand, and music that fills every corner of the great hall. The action is fast, it feels like everything is moving all the time. The stage is giant but well organized and every inch is used to the fullest. It's a piece made for a musical scene and shows.
What did our critic think of RABBLE at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw? This show is unlike any other. Interactive, audience-friendly yet intimate in a very comfortable way. The play is based on Kacper Poblocki's book and gives an interesting perspective on Polish history. This is the part we forget, ignore, or intentionally hide. We come from the countryside, from the oppressed plebs who lived hand to mouth, day by day for someone else.
What did our critic think of RIGHT YOU ARE! IF YOU THINK SO at Teatr Polski In Wroclaw?
A monodrama about Jan Karski, a courier, enthusiastically described by reviewers of the Polish Underground State, will be shown in Poznań on February 4.
What did our critic think of MARAT/SADE at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw? The play was written in 1963 by Peter Weiss, a German writer, and even though the fact that it's almost 60 years old, it hasn't lost any of its actuality. We deal here with the interpretation box. Marcin Liber interpreted the play that interprets the French Revolution but it's also about the revolution itself.
What did our critic think of THE SHOEMAKERS at Teatr Polski In Wroclaw? Witkacy is not easy to swallow. He led a colorful life full of dramas of various intensities. He was a painter, a writer, a soldier, a philosopher, and way more. He loved to shock and burn out from dullness and confusing basic matters. He had a vision, he was implacable. His last play, The Shoemakers is political and grotesque. Predicts the collapse of civilization. For many, this work is the cruelest and most provocative in the writer's entire work. Today his piece is frightfully contemporary.
What did our critic think of CARMEN at Wroclaw Opera? For some people synonym of the opera, after 15 years the great Carmensita is back in Wroclaw, still bringing a huge dose of emotions and a great time in the theater.
What did our critic think of BALLADS AND ROMANCES at Wroclaw Mime Theatre? Three different approaches to Mickiewicz's legacy. Three is a magic number, so combining three magics in magic would bring all the best to the new piece of Mims Theatre in Wroclaw.
You can love him or hate him. Adam Mickiewicz, one of the greatest polish authors of all time, wrote Ballads and Romances exactly 200 years ago. The collection’s publication is widely seen as the main manifesto of Polish romanticism. We were fed with him at school and now we grew up to get something more out of it.
What did our critic think of KOMBINAT at Teatr Muzyczny Poznan? So good, so precise and so innovative show it's a real pearl, and oh my, how good it is...

What did our critic think of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at Teatr Polski In Wroclaw?
What did our critic think of THE MERMAID. LOVE ANATOMY. at Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw? I love magical realism and after seeing this show I wonder why theater makers use it so rarely (too bad, too bad). Fortunately, there are times like in contemporary theatre, when reality clashes wonderfully with magic.
What did our critic think of MANON at Opera Wroclaw? Manon has it all. Great duets, splendor, fantastic music, great scenography, perfect choir, and harmonious choreographies. This opera comique from the 19th century has a big come back after 40 years of absence on polish scenes, last production in Wroclaw took place 122 years ago! Massent is back and it’s very thrilling.
If you want to witness the materialization of the word beauty, see this show. With thrilling voices, amazing Puccini music, and vital presentation this opera will lead you straight to musical heaven.
This opera buffa composed in 1786 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the piece produced by the Wrocław Opera as part of the Opera Of The Young program after Don Giovanni and Cossi Fan Tutte. Director André Heller-Lopes put on a very classic show with superb set design by Renato Theobaldo. It is red and gold, intense, full of depth and density of the castle rooms. In the final act, the castle turns into ruby wood. Still magnificent. Kerosene lamps arranged around the revolving stage added 100 points to the charm of the scenography.
We all know the fairytale where a bullied girl led by her kindness and magic transforms herself into a princess and finds her happily ever after in the prince’s arms. How to make it interesting and funny? Opera in Wroclaw knows how to do it.
Theater has to be on display and expose vulnerability, that extremely fragile part of your being that we hide day after day from society, the people around us, and even ourselves. In the new show, Teatr Wspolczesny Wroclaw does it in a modern and interesting way.
When you were a kid, you probably heard: Don't play with scissors. Don't play with matches. It's dangerous. It's sharp. You should be afraid of it, not play with it. Pantomima Theater's new show proves all adults wrong. Playing with dangerous and sharp can bring something amazing and fresh, the new value and Jakub Lewandowski, director can play airly with fear and horror perfectly. You would probably not gnash your teeth.
This show is one of a kind and this year we celebrate the 50th anniversary of a Bob Fosse masterpiece. Great opportunity to revisit this production on stage and decide if it has lost any of its greatness after all these years. The show in Chorzow rose to the challenge spectacularly.
