Balladyna
This non-linear adaptation of Juliusz Słowacki’s romantic drama bypasses traditional folklore, shifting the focus to a post-accession reality where the protagonist already holds absolute power. The staging functions as a dark, genezyjsk-inspired exploration of authority, framing the political ascent through a modern feminist lens within a highly expressive, sculpted environment.
