Era Wodnika - Premiere

About the event

The Dramatic Theatre invites you to the premiere of the play Era Wodnika. "Era Wodnika" is a musical journey following a generation that believed love was enough to save the world. That everything could be changed: with music and the rebellious slogan "make love, not war." What remains of this revolution? What have we repressed, and what have we unknowingly inherited? Has the utopia faded like the paint on a psychedelic poster? The performance tells the story of the heirs of the flower children, who search for meaning in times when the only constant in life is a phone system update. It is also the story of hippies in the Polish People's Republic (PRL) – those who, in a country without consumerism, rebelled against oppression, the system, and monotony. The militia tracked them, propaganda mocked them – and they danced in squares, formed communes, pitched tents, and planted flowers where walls were meant to rise. - say the creators. "Era Wodnika" is a journey through time and continents. A voyage not only into the world of a colorful myth but also a confrontation with what remains of it. It is a collision of the dream world from over 50 years ago with the harsh reality of the 21st century. It is a story about a world that has not become better – but still has a chance to. It is a story about how much we all – regardless of age – long today for love, peace, and freedom – for a place where one can simply be oneself.
