Szalony, Zielony Bez is inspired by Agnieszka Osiecka – an icon of Polish culture whose poetry and humour continue to inspire generations. A Story of Dreams and Freedom
Leaving conventions behind, a young girl from Warsaw embarks on an exhilarating journey where love, never-ending fun and unforgettable relationships await at every turn. Her colourful story unfolds between the realities of the capitalist West and the grey, yet humorous, communist Poland.
After the performance, there will be a 30-minute workshop where the audience can share their favourite poems by Agnieszka Osiecka.
Szalony, Zielony Bez is not just a concert with the greatest songs by Osiecka, but also a story about emigrants arriving in big cities like London, New York or Los Angeles. When creating this performance, I wanted to capture the different reasons we decide to leave our country: hope, excitement for the unknown, but also less positive motives such as dissatisfaction or a broken heart. It’s a story about dreams that don’t always have a happy ending. It’ll be an evening with unforgettable music and Osiecka’s extraordinary sense of humor. For me, it’s also an opportunity to sing songs I’ve always loved. I’m very excited that we can share this story with London and see how the audience will respond.
