We dream of going to the Polish Theatre Congress in Chicago!

 

As the girls called it nicely - 4 tipsters dream of conquering CHICAGO :-) Although not exactly typical girls, as Chicago Theatre invites them to conquer... they just need to get some money for a flight and a roof over their heads for a couple days...

 

We need your support! Every penny is not only a way to reach the goal, but also the young artists' awareness that they are creating something unique that is worth your attention and support!   We keep our fingers crossed that it will be a success, because the girls are ambitious, absolutely unusual, and the theater project... just read:     Casting, in which you had to act and dance showing the painting or sculpture created by amateurs.   Effect: the performance "THE SLAUGHTER IN ESPERANTO" - difficult in message, complicated in reception, ambitious, unusual considering the realities of theater, not only Polish... The girls' hard work and commitment resulted in a trip to the 11th International Theater Festival "Vilnius Meetings of the Polish Stage", in which the girls were the youngest and only teenage actresses. And in just a few weeks, an invitation to the next event appears: 6th Polish Theater Congress in Chicago - September 20-22, 2024 - you need money for a flight and stay... it may not work out, but it can also work out, so you fight,   Congress organizer: https://www.teatrnasz.com/   The theater is run by the famous Polish actor Andrzej Krukowski   https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0472667/   About the show: Text: Zofia Delest True stories and fragments of conversations with representatives of multicultural society in Germany and Poland were used.   The concept of creating and developing art in terms of content: Zofia Delest   Concept of developing art in the field of dance: Zofia Delest and Beata Cholewa -Mazurowska   Choreographies: Dancers performing in the performance in consultation with Zofia Delest and the authors of dance-interpreted art works   Cast: Julia Jagodzińska, Julia Głowadzka, Kaja Peska, Nicola Greplica   Duration: 45 min.

 

The temptation to taste the apple from the forbidden tree gave rise to the brutal history of humanity along with the expulsion from paradise. The apple given to Aphrodite by Paris marks the beginning of the Trojan War. William Tell is forced by landwogt Gessler to shoot at the apple placed on his son's head, which ultimately leads to an uprising against the tyrant.   The apple of contention appears many times in human history, sometimes as a dispute over territory, sometimes as a religious dispute, sometimes as a tempting ideology. Each of his reincarnations leads to wars and fights. After they are finished, it is time to live in freedom. But will what is freedom for some also be freedom for others? Where is the tipping point where freedom is seen as oppression?

 

The performance "Slaughter in Esperanto" is a story about how history shapes the concept of freedom and what people do with it in times of peace. At its center stands the individual and his suffering caused by the actions of the great people of this world leading to wars, arbitrary shifting of the borders of individual countries, or affecting the existence or non-existence of individual countries.   Art is supposed to be "the voice of the people." The show tells true stories that the author collected over several years while working with approximately 60 people from 17 countries located on 4 continents. Therefore, it contains stories of victims from both World War II and contemporary conflicts.   Finally, the mechanism governing the relationship between the weaker and the stronger is indicated in everyday relationships in times of peace.

 

We need to collect money for the trip costs including airline tickets, accommodation, food and travel.  It is an expense beyond our means, so dear friends, friends of our friends and all supporters, we turn to you with a warm request to support the girls in achieving their goal.   Thank You for your attention and any type of support: interest, sharing, payment…
