Gardzienice

Founded in a small Polish village, the Gardzienice Theatre Association emerged as an experimental theatre company in 1977 and garnered acclaim for its dynamic performances by 1992. Celebrated for its unique blend of joy, anguish, and spiritual themes, the group has become Poland's leading theatre, training actors for prestigious companies like the Royal Shakespeare Company. Paul Allain explores their innovative sung performances, rigorous physical and vocal training, and anthropological research among marginalized European communities, highlighting their significant impact on contemporary theatre.
