The topic of superheroes is the starting point for the joint work of the creative teams of Teatr 21 and Teatr Powszechny. They will seek answers to the questions: who can become a superhero today, to what needs, fantasies, aspirations of the contemporary society the superheroes respond. The focus will be on such figures of collective imagination as Batman, Spiderman, Superman, V, and James Bond.
Creators' announcement:
There is a country overtaken by fear. People are afraid to go out of their homes. The growing wave of violence and aggression makes everyone of a different opinion afraid to speak out on important issues and fight for a better future. Those who differ are being isolated, removed from public space. Integration schools are being closed, and the word "SCRAM!" appears painted on the windows of restaurants where autistic people work. The constant pursuit of unifying everything leads to secret elimination of any form of otherness. Fortunately, there is our last hope: the Superplay!
