First Polish presentation of „Natives” – the 14th spectacle of the „Child in a situation” project. Thank you!
What are trying to escape from in order to get into alternative – virtual world? Why do we need such an escape? Are we heading for greater isolation and loneliness? Can we build relationships? These are some of the questions posed by „Natives” – the spectacle which was presented for the first time in Poland on our Small Stage on June 6th, 2024. The play by Glenn Waldron was directed by Ewa Pilawska on a voluntary basis. Thank you for being with us! Next presentations will take place this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
„Natives” is the 14th spectacle of the original „Child in a situation” project, consisting of performances and workshops dedicated to our young viewers. They touch difficult subjects such as homelessness, parents’ depression, internet hate, sexual initiation, transsexuality, violence or cyberviolence. Very often it appears that it is the theatre where many young people get their first chance of „being listened to” and of discussing problems. The project is based on a dialogue, on asking questions and not on giving ready-made solutions for life.
During the workshops their moderators and participants are partners, they listen to their opinions, they learn from themselves and encourage reflections. „Natives” will be accompanied by original workshops prepared by Andrzej Jakubas and he will moderate it together with experts – psychologists and sex educators. Thank you for last night’s reflexions and discussion after the spectacle!
