On Friday, November 3 and Saturday, November 4, we made two trips…
Both were visual and musical journeys and adventures and did not require traveling great distances.
Both were theater trips!
Can they be called journeys? For us, they turned out to be events worth noting on the blog, because their uniqueness may not be repeated!
First an announcement:
Adventure No. 1: The newly built great institution of thePolski Theater in Szczecin* and a musical performance - CABARET (the one with Liza Minnelli!)
Adventure No. 2: Watching the lively musical farce of the Brama Theater in Goleniów** (40 km from Szczecin) "SOLDIER OF THE QUEEN OF MADAGASCAR".
Both "trips" turned out to be adventures that touched our hearts and lifted our spirits in today's uncertain times! Not only did the performances impress us, but above all the theaters: their locations and the roles they play in their respective environments.
The scale of their impact, regardless of the size of the geographical area, is enormous and inalienable.
*In Szczecin:
“In 2023, a thorough modernization and reconstruction of the Polski Theater was completed. The construction included restoring the original appearance of the theater, built in 1928-1929 according to the design of architect Adolf Thesmacher. The expanded facility includes 5 stages: the Shakespeare Stage, the Italian Stage, the Chamber Stage, and the Jan Banucha, the Sacrileges Stage of the Czarny Kot Rudy Parish, a multifunctional rehearsal room, dressing rooms, studios and theater warehouses for props, and administrative rooms.
**In Goleniów:
"Teatr Brama - Polish alternative theater, founded in 1996 in Goleniów by Daniel Jacewicz.
“Although Brama has an international reputation, it does not cease to be the theater of a small town. This is an unusual position on a national scale also because it is far from the famous laboratory theaters that use their distance from larger centers for in-breed, often hermetic work - by definition closed to the local community or only rarely made available to it. Meanwhile – let's say it again – the Gate is open. This is undoubtedly helped by institutional connections with the local community center (some of the Gatekeepers are employed there). So we are dealing with a company that - it is worth remembering - did not always work well, but even these crises brought results that were important for the theater. (…)
(…) in mid-2008 it returned to Goleniów, where it operates as an independent institution, in cooperation with the Commune and City Office, GDK and the Rampa Club. (…) Cultural animator in Goleniów, conducts workshops and teaching, helps organize cultural and educational projects on a regional, national and international scale. Since 2012, the Brama Theater, together with other theaters from the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, has been co-creating the West Pomeranian Theater Offensive. (…)”
