History of violence

Ewelina Marciniak, a recognized theater director, winner of the Polityka Passport and many prestigious awards, prepared the Polish theatre premiere of the book by Édouard Louis – a star of the young generation of French writers, one of the most widely read authors on the Seine. Paris, Christmas Eve, an accidental meeting that leaves a tragic imprint on the life of the main character – a shocking story about the banality and randomness of violence in a world that is falling apart, full of divisions and mutual misunderstanding.

A performance for adult audiences.
