Mahatma Vitkac. Witkacy and his world. Guided walk.

About the event

Witkacy! Faces, masks, parallel lives of an artist embedded in time, in an era that provides nourishment but also imposes limitations. An era he surpassed, receiving in return a sense of loneliness and hopelessness of existence. Madman, clown, poser. A tragic, sensitive, suffering man. Disregarded by his peers, treated unseriously, drowning out his drama with buffoonery. A farsighted, insightful visionary who foresaw the decline of "metaphysical feelings," totalitarianism, war, and the destruction of the world as we know it. Well-mannered, honorable, but also irritable, explosive, intolerant of criticism. Fluent in several languages, loving animals, playing the piano. A lover of life, youth, and vitality. Witkacy! Friends and "lousy enemies," wife, women he portrayed, and the famous Portrait Company, "Young Poland" movement, literature and philosophy, places. 📅: 20.09.25 (Saturday) ⏰: 15:30 📍: in front of St. Alexander's Church (Three Crosses Square) Duration: 2h.
