In "Arcadia", Jerzy Zoń makes us strain our eyes to achieve the state of all-seeing. It exposes the present time as a prime murderer of the past. From the first to the last scene of this séance-like theatre piece without words, the audience will be accompanied by the irresistible sense of longing for the world, for art, for oneself, and with the desire to obtain a gift of transferable roots. In this piece the author paints an Arcadian landscape made of everything that is most beautiful and cruel in earthly life, where echoes of mythical words reach us in every nook and cranny.

The POLAND-ROMANIA Cultural Season 2024/2025 is a series of artistic events across the two named partner countries. It takes place over eighteen months and it is the result of joint efforts by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, with full support from the Polish Institute in Bucharest as well as the Romanian Ministry of Culture and the Romanian Cultural Institute. The season includes dozens of concerts, theatre performances, film screenings, exhibitions and literary events. The visual identity of the season is the result of a collaboration between graphic design students from Poland and Romania; it includes a logo inspired by the diacritical marks characteristic of these two challenging languages. Complementing the visual aspect is the slogan “We Share a Common Language”, referring to the language of culture, a language that allows for deep understanding and communication through a diversity of forms, means of expression and traditions.
