Matei Vișniec in dialogue with Lukasz Twarkowski
Poland

LUKASZ TWARKOWSKI is a creator of multimedia performances combining theatre and visual arts. He places his projects in the context of extending reality through multimedia. A crucial element of Twarkowski's creative work is investigating the ability and limitations of theatre as a medium and tool of communication. By permanent deconstruction of narratives, questioning the fixed habits of the audience and by meaningful usage of new media, Twarkowski creates a new, original language of stage performance based on multimedia and, more widely, digital technologies.

In using these, Twarkowski analyses and observes increasingly complex relations between the Real, the Symbolic and the Imagined.

His projects are being programmed at the most important festivals and stages of Europe, among others: Holland Festival, Odéon - Théâtre de l'Europe, Ruhrtriennale, Festival de Otoño de Madrid, Munchner Kammer-spiele, Wiener Festwochen or Southbank Center in London. Currently he is an associated artist of Onassis Stegi in Athens.

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.
