Klątwa

Author: Stanisław Wyspiański | Director: Max Nowotarski Premiere: November 20, 2026, Mała Scena One of Stanisław Wyspiański's most gripping and audacious works. Inspired by ancient tragedy, "Klątwa" has remained for over a century a drama that poses questions about responsibility, guilt, community, and the power of collective emotions. By setting the action in a Galician village, Wyspiański created a story that extends far beyond historical or social conventions. In a world where religion, folk beliefs, and the inevitability of fate intertwine, unfolds the drama of an individual caught in the mechanisms of social judgment. It is precisely this combination of realism with the universal dimension of tragedy that makes "Klątwa" one of the most remarkable works in the history of Polish drama. A drama that, due to its subject matter, was never staged during the author's lifetime, continues to fascinate audiences with its theatrical language and multiple meanings. Drawing from classical tradition and Polish experience, Wyspiański created a work open to new interpretations - still provoking discussion and retaining extraordinary relevance. This new production by Teatr Nowy will be another encounter with one of the most outstanding texts of Polish literature and theater.
