Nina. Eternal Queen - premiere at Dramatyczny

Who was Nina Andrycz really – a legendary actress, an icon of Polish theatre, the prime minister's wife, or above all an artist unconditionally devoted to the stage? The latest play by Wojciech Faruga and Julia Holewińska is a tragicomedy in which facts intertwine with fiction, and the actress's biography becomes a starting point for a story about the relationship between art and politics. Alongside Nina Andrycz, figures who co-created 20th-century history appear on stage, including Józef Cyrankiewicz, Władysław Gomułka, Stalin, Pola Negri and Irena Eichlerówna. Full of humour and politically incorrect, the play reveals the backstage of theatre, the price of fame and the sacrifices demanded by an unconditional love of art. "Nina. Wieczna królowa" is a story about a passion stronger than history, different models of femininity and the price one pays for living in harmony with oneself. More on the theatre's website
