Piotr Adamczyk

Laureate of the Helena Modrzejewska Prize

“An artist should not seek easy applause. Their goal must be truth – the truth embodied by the character, and the truth that the audience is meant to discover within themselves.”

— Helena Modrzejewska

“My favorite word related to acting is authenticity. I want the viewer to believe in the character I play – to feel their emotions, follow their truth, and through that, reach their own truth. preferably – the uncomfortable one.”

— Piotr Adamczyk

Piotr Adamczyk is one of the most versatile and recognizable Polish actors of his generation. A graduate of the Aleksander Zelwerowicz Theatre Academy in Warsaw and the British-American Drama Academy in London, he has successfully combined a career in theatre, film, radio, and voice acting with international film and television work. With impressive ease, he crosses linguistic and cultural borders – making him a spiritual heir to Helena Modrzejewska.

He gained international recognition for his portrayal of Karol Wojtyła in the international production Karol: A Man Who Became Pope. This role, grounded in authenticity and profound spirituality, reached an audience of over 800 million viewers worldwide. In Jerzy Antczak’s film Chopin: Desire for Love, he portrayed Fryderyk Chopin, revealing both the genius and the fragile, complex humanity of the composer. He is a recipient of numerous international awards granted by juries abroad, as well as multiple audience awards in Poland.

In recent years, Adamczyk has successfully expanded his career abroad, appearing in American series such as Hawkeye (Marvel), For All Mankind (Apple TV+), and Night Sky (Amazon Prime), becoming one of the few Polish actors with a recognizable presence in American productions. With the rise of premium series, he has created dramatically different characters in productions such as A Simple Case (Canal+), Klara (TVN Player), Lead the Way, Brother (Netflix), and most recently: Project UFO (Netflix).

For his overall artistic achievements, he has been awarded the Silver Medal for Merit to Culture – Gloria Artis. He is especially proud of the “Little Sceptre” award, presented to him by Janusz Gajos.

Citation:

"Piotr Adamczyk receives the Helena Modrzejewska Award for his outstanding acting achievements, his ability to combine artistry with accessibility, and for transcending linguistic and cultural boundaries in the spirit of universal values. Just as Modrzejewska – an ambassador of Polish theatre around the world – brought Polish sensibility into international dialogue, so too does he. This award honors not only his body of work but also his consistency, passion, and artistic integrity." - Katarzyna Smiechoweicz

SERCE CHOPINA / CHOPIN’S HEART

“A unique novel, which is the result of the love of the director of Nights and Days for Chopin. The author outlines events that followed the Master's death, recalls his life in reminiscences, enriches the world of historical figures with the fictional universe he created, and weaves this story with notes of Chopin's works. Based on lesser-known facts from the composer’s life, Antczak builds the plot around the figure of Chopin’s sister Ludwika, who, after the artist's death, began efforts to have his heart placed in the Church of the Holy Cross. Unfortunately, the Tsarist authorities were not in favor of this, and the canon law stated that locations within the church were intended solely for saints. After all, Chopin was not a saint...”
