THE THIRD DAY
The third day (June 25) is the opposite, though equivalent direction: the meeting with premonitions and fears, but also with the spontaneous power of "beautiful twenty-year-olds" – young people of the same age as the festival – with their generational dissent to reality, their need for movement, scream, rebellion, change. Diagnosing relations between an an individual and history is, on the one hand, a testimony of time, and on the other, an opportunity to look at the new alternative theatre movement developing in its own, resilient way.
Tin Drum
Oscar, the protagonist, tells about his condition of “chronic three-year-old", helping him in his in-depth observation of the world. Born in the 1930s, he is a witness to historical changes, from which he captures "signs of misfortune, which put on bigger and bigger shoes and intended to spread evil." He uses his genius voice as a tool of self-defense. He cannot live without his tin drum, which provides a rhythm for future events.
Awards for the performance: the 9th Festival of Theatre Youth "ŁAKNIENIA" (main prize), the 24th Zgierz Meetings of Small Theatres "Słodkobłękity" (the Marian Glinkowski main prize, the award for staging for Grażyna Tabor and the award for acting skills for Agnieszka Rajda); a finalist of the 2nd National Competition "The best OFF" – the competition for the best performance of independent theatre in Poland.
The Tetraedr Theatre has existed since 1992. It is a path and a piece of life shared by many young people who have left here a lot of good energy, emotions, as well as their own stories, and contributed to the development of a specific style of work and imaging on the stage. The essence of the work of the Tetraedr Theatre is organicity, physicality, references to archetypes, rituals and rhythms of everyday life – far from journalistic attitude. All these elements are have surreal, absurd and grotesque tinge. The theatre confronts reality by means of such literary inspirations as: Kajzar, Tuwim, Miłobędzka, Spath, Gombrowicz, Schulz, Veteranyi – limiting verbal aspect to a minimum, and preferably creating live music on stage.
