About

Join us for an evening of powerful theatrical vignettes from Kurtyna Acting Studio, each offering a distinct mood and story:

19:00 | Mom said don’t
Step into the darkly humorous world inspired by Heinrich Hoffmann’s The Golden Wand (or Struwwelpeter)—one of the most famous, and controversial, children’s books ever written. This classic of German literature is brought to life with a distinctive dark wit. Discover the cautionary fates that befell characters like Hania, who ignored her mother’s warning not to play with matches, and Konrad, who just couldn’t stop biting his nails…
Recommended for audiences aged 10+

19:25 | Actor’s Song
A brief interlude of live vocal expression.

19:40 | Empty Night
A Kashubian tale of love and destiny: the story of Jasiek and Haneczka. Come and find out how their story ends…

20:30 | (In)Defensible

This performance delves into the story of  mass murderer Olga Hepnarová, the last woman sentenced to death in the Czech Republic. Without seeking to explain, justify, or accuse, we present her life as it unfolded, striving to understand the forces that drove her actions. Yet, Olga remains an unsolved mystery, both for us and for the audience, until the very end.
