“The war in Ukraine has been going on for several years, and for several months we have been collective witnesses to the Gehenna of the Ukrainian Nation and the Exodus of its inhabitants. Our aim is to perpetuate the memory of these events and to draw attention to the still ongoing tragedy”, announce the event’s organisers.<\/p>\n
The authors’ concept is to create an oratorio based on the experiences of women who experienced or witnessed the atrocities of the ongoing war in Ukraine and are currently residing in Warmia and Mazury. The collection of testimonies is supervised by the eminent Polish reporter W\u0142odzimierz Nowak, long-serving editor-in-chief of “Du\u017cy Format” – a supplement to “Gazeta Wyborcza” presenting fiction reportage.<\/p>\n
Based on these accounts, a script is being developed for a show in which the actresses will quote the victims’ accounts. At the same time, projections consisting of photographs documenting the dramatic events of the war in Ukraine will be screened. The visual part of the show is being coordinated by Wojciech \u017boga\u0142a, director, theatre and film set designer, lecturer at the \u0141\u00f3d\u017a Film School, winner of the Polish Film Award “Eagles”.<\/p>\n
The musical setting will be provided by an ensemble created especially for the project by Miko\u0142aj Trzaska, an exceptionally talented specialist in avant-garde music. He has invited leading artists of the world’s improvised music scene to participate including Olo Walicki – double bassist, Per-\u00c5ke Holmlander – tubist from Stockholm, Ido Bukelman – guitarist from Israel living in Berlin, Tim Daisy – percussionist from Chicago and Steve Swell – trombonist from New York who will perform together with Trzaska.<\/p>\n
