The online premiere of Holzwege will be held on 18 April 2020 as part of the "Stay at home, don't leave the theater" campaign of TR Warzawa. The extraordinary performance directed by Katarzyna Kalwat tells the story of composer Tomasz Sikorski and features his longtime friend, outstanding composer and pianist Zygmunt Krauze.
Holzwege (German for getting lost) is the title of a work by Tomasz Sikorski, one of the most interesting composers of the second half of the 20th century. The production by the same name, based on Marta Sokołowska’s play, is an attempt to understand the Sikorski’s work and life, which came to a premature end with his mysterious death. Holzwege is a combination of a theatre play and a concert. Alongside the TR Warszawa actors Jan Dravnel, Sandra Korzeniak and Tomasz Tyndyk, the eminent composer Zygmunt Krauze, a friend of Sikorski’s, also participates. The actors and musicians call upon the works of the avant-garde composer, documentary materials and literary fiction to pay tribute to him. During the show, we will hear Tomasz Sikorski’s works Absent-minded Window Gazing, Sonant, Hymnos and Echoes II performed live.
The broadcast will be held on TR Warszawa's Facebook profile and on Vimeo (with PL and ENG subtitles) on 18 April at 7 p.m. The performance will be available only once, which is why the artists encourage you to spend this evening with TR Warszawa. Afterwards, at 9.15 p.m., there will be a live meeting via Facebook with the actors and creators of the performance: Zygmunt Krauze, Katarzyna Kalwat, Marta Sokołowska, Sandra Korzeniak, Jan Dravnel, Tomasz Tyndyk and Anna Tomczyńska.
