Activities

The Kana Theatre operates in the following areas: popularization and promotion of culture in such aspects as: theatre, performing arts, music, and interdisciplinary forms (with a special focus on artistic activities transgressing limits of particular genres, using various languages, searching for codes of communication with the audience beyond dramatic text and in the space of experiment); own artistic activity: work on their own productions, including performances, theatre-related projects, artistic and socially oriented action as well as other forms of cultural activities; cultural education: exchange of theatre-related experiences and practices, programs of perfecting acting techniques, training artistic leaders and cultural animators, promoting knowledge about the theatre as a method of self-development, promoting experimental and alternative theatre, improving knowledge, techniques and skills of people interested in folklore and traditions of various cultures.

The Kana Theatre continues the idea of ​​the cultural centre formulated by Zygmunt Duczyński. The program of the Kana’s activities is based on the key concept of originality and personal aspect in relation to both particular artists and the artistic team: selection of topics, projects and areas of activity is closely related to both the range of interests (and research) of individual members of the team, and to the collectively worked out program line.  This position makes it possible to maintain the continuity and progressive character of the accomplished projects.

In the area of education, activities linking theatre with social and socio-cultural issues (including research, artistic and documentary activities focused on local identity and related topics) are considered by the Kana as essential. The Kana Theatre also marks its artistic and cultural activity through participation in festivals and cultural events in Poland and abroad, collaborating with foreign partners, building networks of cooperation and integrating regional and national artistic milieu.
