Date: 07.02.2012

Time: 18:00

Place: Factory of Art, Tyminieckiego 3 Street, Lodz

We want to share our experiences from our visit in India.

For 10 days in January 2012 we stayed at the Bharat Mahotsav Theater Festival organized by the National School of Drama in New Delhi. Twice – in New Delhi and Amritsar – we presented our performance “Grotowski – an attempt to retreat.”

Our journey was so important and significaant for us that it is worthwhile to organize a special meeting to sum up this intense time.

Tales from the Festival will be enriched by travel experiences from Pola Amber’s monthly trip to Thailand, Cambodia and Laos.

We invite everyone who would like to share their experiences from similar journeys.

We are happy to announce that

CHOREA Theatre and its “Oratorium Dance Project”

became the winner of the plebiscite

on the most important cultural event in the City of Lodz in 2011 -

- ‘The Energy of Culture’.

The most important cultural event in Lodz in 2011 was chosen by

the readers of “Gazeta”, TV Toya viewers and internauts.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR VOTES!

At the beginning of 2012, CHOREA Theatre presented the performance  “Grotowski – an attempt to retreat” in India twice:

First on January 9 in New Delhi, second on January 12 in the capital of Punjab – Amritsar.

The performance for the first time in large part was played in english.

In both cities the spectacle “Grotowski – an attempt to retreat,” was enthusiastically received and have met with a spontaneous reaction of the audience, and by many was considered the best and most important performance of 14th edition of the Festival BHARAT RANG MAHOTSAV, organized by the National School of Darma in New Delhi.

Bharat Rang Mahotsav was established a decade ago by the National School of Drama to stimulate the growth and development of theatre across India. Originally a national festival showcasing the work of the most creative theatre workers in India, it has evolved to international scope, hosting theatre companies from around the world, and is now the largest theatre festival of Asia.
