Malta Festival Poznań 2021, and on the Other Hand, the Place of the Final of the "Zaklepane / Ground Rules" of the Malta Generator
THINGS TO DO AND SEE AT THE MALTA FESTIVAL Between 18 and 29 June, the Malta Festival is transforming Poznań into an outdoor stage powered by our audience and performers: circus artists, performance artists, actors, dancers and musicians. The motto of the 31st edition is Back to the Ground, so we’re going back to our roots: to sitting on the grass and picnics, to jugglers, mimes, clowns and acrobats. It will be colourful and nostalgic. As always, Malta’s power lies in diversity and consistency. Join us! We’re pulling the best out of the Malta hat! The first instalment of our new international series Portrait of an Artist focuses on the ‘most awarded and ‘most ambitious’ European theatremaker of our time. Milo Rau, who works at the intersection of art and activism, who sees theatre as a resistance movement against systemic injustice and the logic of capitalism, is visiting Poznań with his acclaimed play La Reprise – Histoire(s) du théâtre (I). Furthermore, the programme also features recordings of his plays and films, as well as meetings with the director and his collaborators in Kino Pałacowe. Milo Rau’s theatre is also the point of departure for our series of debates and theatre performances, which will both take place in the beautiful Wieniawski Park, our new festival village. During the Forum titled Movements of Resistance, we will talk about various strategies of resistance with a special emphasis on the events of 2020, when a wave of social protests spread across the world. In the evening, the same open-air stage will present plays produced by Komuna Warszawa, directed by Agnieszka Smoczyńska, Cezary Tomaszewski, Agnieszka Jakimiak and Anna Smolar.
