Long Night of Museums 2022. We invite you to the exhibition „Krystian Lupa. Visions. Insights”

During this year’s Long Night of Museums, from 14 May at 9 p.m. till 15 May 1 a.m., Powszechny Theatre invites everyone to the exhibition „Krystian Lupa. Visions. Insights” which takes place at the 28th International Festival of Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant. Main theme of the Festival – „Artist.Visionary”.

At the exibition you may see fragments of spectacles which make history of theatre. - Out of hours of recordings of Lupa’s productions, we have chosen the scenes that touched us because of their strength and beauty; the scenes that have changed our perception of reality, our minds – the exhibition’s curators, Magda Kulesza and Krzysztof Kelm say. - For many years Krystian Lupa has consequently been searching human reality with great courage. The theatre is the matter. He has used all means of expression. He has been creating unforgettable images with his own narration, slowly, sometimes inconsistently with the logic of reality, sometimes beyond real time – the curators underline.

The multimedia exhibition is accompanied by the music of Paweł Szymański composed for „Zarathustra”. In a specially arranged space in the Powszechny Theatre lobby the exhibition presents fragments of six productions – masterpieces of the turn of 20th and 21st centuries: Marzyciele (The Dreamers – 1988), Auslöschung (Extinction – 2001), Mistrz i Małgorzata (The Master and Margarita – 2002), Zaratustra (Zarathustra – 2005), Persona. Tryptyk – Marylin (Persona.Triptych – Marylin – 2009) and Persona. Ciało Simone (Persona. Simone’s Body – 2010). The exhibition is completed with Krystian Lupa’s photographs.
