1989 - Kraków-Gdańsk co-production - premiere coming in November!
New co-production in collaboration with the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre in Kraków, coming to the GTS stage in November!
1989 is a spectacle directed by Katarzyna Szyngiera, reminiscent in form of the American "Hamilton." Lin-Manuel Miranda's revolutionary musical introduced rap to Broadway, offering a fresh language for storytelling about history that is appealing to both young and older audiences. The sound of our musical is overseen by one of the best Polish rap producers - Andrzej Mikosz "Webber," known, among others, for his long-term collaboration with "Łona."
1989 will present the fall of communism from a new perspective. Events known from film chronicles and history textbooks will come alive on stage through the eyes of three fascinating couples. In the lives of the Frasyniuks, Wałęsas, and Kuroniów, ideas compete with love, enthusiasm clashes with the weight of history, and heroism intertwines with family tragedies. The audience will accompany the heroes in iconic moments - during strikes at the shipyard and at the Round Table - but also in intimate moments of joy and suffering experienced in the corners of People's Republic of Poland flats or prison cells.
