The premiere of the performance ”Emigrants” in the Provisorium Theatre and Kompania Theatre
Provisorium Theatre and Kompania Theatre would like to invite for a new performance – Slawomir Mrozek’s “Emigrants.” The premiere will take place on 24/1/2009.
The main character of the performance directed by Witold Mazurkiewicz is a forty-year-old man who spent has half of his life on emigrating and reaching compromises. Perhaps he is a person, who abandoned his country for good and did not come back there and now he observes a new wave of emigration for economic reasons. How do the words of contemporary politicians about Irish miracle in Poland sound in this world of disappointment and humiliation? The words of coming back to Poland? How does the world look facing the riots in Paris or the attacks in the London tube or in New York? Such questions show the tragedy of emigration – running away from or seeking something indefinite. Emigration is creating a multicultural world which is not only advantageous for our reality but sometimes tragic and bloody as in Madrid or Paris.

Sławomir Mrozek’s „Emigrants” are considered to be one of the most important Polish plays in the second half of the 20th century. It was written in 1974 and presents problems which remain present. It presents people lost in the western world, living far away from their homes and, on the other hand, it is an accurate analysis showing the differences between educated and uneducated people.
