The 20th century is speeding up like a runaway locomotive when Zofia Szczupaczyńska – the heroine of the book "Madness and Death Will Flow Down from the Mountains" (Znak Literanova, 2025) – receives a dramatic telegram from Zakopane: CRIME STOP PLEASE COME IMMEDIATELY STOP. Her heart starts beating faster, but is it only because of the message? Zofia sets off and after (only) seven hours arrives in the capital of the Tatras, where she begins her investigation. We invite you to an evening inspired by the newly published novel by Jacek Dehnel and Piotr Tarczyński (pseudonym Maryla Szymiczkowa). The authors will select excerpts from the crime novel, and comedians will perform a series of improvised scenes based on them. We will question the oldest highlanders and prominent Zakopane figures to cut through the thicket of mysteries and reveal the truth. After all, a case like this – "a corpse from right under the Tatras" (and on Savior Square, no less) – doesn't come our way often. Jacek Dehnel – writer, poet, and translator, is the author of, among others, "Lala," "Saturn," "Foreign Languages," "Krivoklat," "Swans."
