And of the World in Breslau
Based on the noir crime novel by Marek Krajewski, this production adapts the dark, decadent atmosphere of 1920s Breslau for the stage. The performance rejects simple detective-fiction pacing to create an expressive landscape of social crisis, shifting between underworld subcultures and institutional decay to investigate human corruption, systemic isolation, and the dread of an approaching collapse.
