Zły. Warsaw Jazz Opera - post-premiere performances

Über die Veranstaltung

The Rampa Theatre invites you to September performances following the premiere of "Zły. Warsaw Jazz Opera" directed by Jerzy Jan Połoński. Post-war Warsaw is swept up by the enthusiasm of reconstruction and a new, wild music – jazz. In the first jazz club at Konopnicka 6, followers of the capital's new sound gather: hipsters, gangsters, and dance floor stars. The undisputed king of this place is writer, boxer, and playboy: Leopold Tyrmand. When the club is shut down by the regime fighting against indecency, Tyrmand falls into depression and roams the city overtaken by hooligans. On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, the Rampa Theatre in Targówek invites you on a wild journey to Warsaw in 1954 – a city being rebuilt, resonating with jazz, controlled from above by a regime censoring every expression of freedom, and from below by bandits lurking in the streets. Only a superhero can stand against the latter. Based on "Diary 1954" and the novel "Zły" by Leopold Tyrmand, this jazz opera is a musical rollercoaster where boxing mixes with eroticism and violence with the romanticism of Warsaw's nooks, suburbs, and courtyards.
