The grants pay for the venue rental and AV technician costs. Since these events are supported by the Consulate, they are free to the general public.
Zycie to jest teatr / Life is a Theater is a concert of hits by the masters of Polish song, Agnieszka Osiecka and Wojciech Młynarski, graduates of the University of Warsaw and co-founders of the Hybrydy Theatre, whose lyrics are hummed and listened to by subsequent generations of Poles. The most beautiful hits in new, energetic arrangements will be interspersed with funny literary cabaret sketches from pre-war and post-war Poland. The program will also feature retro hits by excellent Polish composers in a cheerful, lively mood, as well as more lyrical and nostalgic pieces. Starring: Magdalena Rossowska, Dominika Świątek, Maciej Dzięciołowski
The Hybrydy Theater of the University of Warsaw is one of the oldest student theaters in Poland, existing since the late 1950s, reactivated in 2005 at the University of Warsaw. It is a cultural and ideological continuator of the legendary Hybryd founded in 1957, from which such artists as Wojciech Młynarski, Jonasz Kofta, Urszula Dudziak, Krzysztof Komeda and many others come from. The team consists of students, doctoral students and graduates of our University under the supervision of experienced and thoroughly educated teachers. The theater's repertoire includes several dozen performances, concerts and other artistic projects, from ambitious texts by the greatest Polish and world poets and playwrights to lighter comedy forms, farces, choreographic shows and popular science projects in the field of theater and music.
