The Lilla Weneda’s action takes place at prehistoric times of brutal, legendary pre-Christian Poland during the war between two mythical Polish tribes: Veneti and Lechites.
Michał Zadara sets this drama in the 20th century and uses Słowacki’s drama as the key to our present state of mind of the 21st century that has still not forgotten what has happened in the past.
The production of the play has been co-financed as part of the Competition for Staging of the Old Works of Polish Literature “Classics Alive”, organised to celebrate the 250th anniversary of public theatre in Poland. The competition is organised by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and Zbigniew Raszewski Theatre Institute.
