Maidens' Vows
The young have a good time, the old revel in their memories. Different generations talk to each other with Aleksander Fredro's refined verses.
Jan Englert revitalises the classic work of the Polish playwright. The scenography designed by Barbara Hanicka combines an idyllic landscape with modern elements, alongside a reflective mood established by Leszek Możdżer’s music. Meanwhile, life is pulsating to the rhythm and melody of the words. Women revolt, men begin making advances. The young are accompanied by the adults who nostalgically return to unfulfilled passions. Fascinating and ambiguous love games are played.
