Why "Old Women" Need Art? – Theater Performance

WCK Filia Marysin invites you to a theatre performance. "Po co babie sztuka?" is a reflection on the nature of creativity, inner freedom and the boundaries that society, history and circumstances impose on a person — especially on a woman. At the centre of the story are the fates of two artists: Belarusian Alona Kisz and Polish Tamara Łempicka. Two lives, two perspectives on art, two paths — and one common question: what defines an artist? Social status, origin, recognition? Or perhaps the inner need to create — despite everything? The creators of the performance draw a parallel between the personal stories of the protagonists and the history of two countries — Poland and Belarus. Countries that share a common past but follow different paths. These are not only portraits of the artists, but also a reflection on cultural memory, identity, fractures and points of contact. The performance also addresses the theme of emigration — both external and internal. What does a female creator choose: to stay in her country and struggle with invisibility, or to leave and try to make a name for herself in a foreign world? Where does freedom end and exile begin? Where is the artist's home — where she was born, or where she is heard?
