Sir Twardowski

“A colourful and dynamic performance has been prepared with adequate dramaturgy, filled with numerous episodes manifesting the aforementioned themes in the form of a dream of the main character. The choreographer has to be praised for the ability of combining classical dance with elements and forms of modern and character dance. Important elements building the atmosphere of the entire performance were the fanciful costumes and the set design created by Maria Balcerek, assisted by the lights and projections by Marcin Nogas. […] As far as the level of performance is concerned, it must be noted that the entire ballet team of the Kraków Opera has shown its creative potential in the play. Dzmitry Prokharau as Devil, Yauheni Raukuts as Young Twardowski and Agnieszka Chlebowska as Woman in Red shone like stars. Sofia Manca and Marianna Morfin-Schanchez in the impressive choreography of Kraków Puppets were also memorable. Tomasz Tokarczyk at the conductor’s stand tried to bring out the lyrical fragments and the symphonic character of Różycki's music. He carefully minded the tempo, thus assisting the dancers in peaceful performance of their tasks,”
