The Russian Contract

In its artistic activity, the Dramatic Theatre of the Capital City of Warsaw focuses on interpretations of world classics, theatre adaptations and new dramatic plays. Without neglecting the tradition of a stage, which communicates with an audience using the most wonderful theatre medium, namely an actor, the Dramatic Theatre is a place where drama has a very important mission: it raises awareness and stimulates sensitivity of an audience, both to art and another human being.  

Krzysztof Rekowski, director, made his debut with “L’Hiver sous la table” [Winter Under the Table] by Roland Topor in the Ludowy Theatre in Kraków.
