Little Fifteen - Pomeranian Legends

„Little Fifteen” is the story of a catastrophe that happened in the summer of 1948 on Lake Gardno near Słupsk. During a scouting camp, the girl scout leader, wanting to make the stay more attractive for her scout girls, organised a boat trip across Lake Gardno to the sea. The boats, however, turned out to be leaky, and not all of the girls could swim... The performance is an attempt to recreate these events. The audience is assigned the role of jurors hearing the actors testifying and giving accounts of that afternoon.

„The spectacle in a very suggestive way tells a difficult story and asks uncomfortable questions. Hard subject and an original idea of showing the tragedy and at the same time Polish post-war reality from a different, concerning not only war crimes, point of view. It is also a very moving and touching production and brilliant acting together with fantastic music which underlines emotions and experiences of the characters”, wrote Katarzyna Harłacz in her review. 

The spectacle received many awards and distinctions. The script of „Little Fifteen” was qualified to the final of the 16. Gdynia Drama Award and the spectacle was qualified to the final of the 29th All-Poland Competition for Staging a Modern Polish Play (it received the 2nd award – for creators and actors, a directing award for Tomasz Man and individual acting awards for Mariusz Bonaszewski, Anna Grochowska and Katarzyna Pałka).
