HEAR ME

Can you hear me? Are you there? You must get to know me. I must be present in you...

Gappad Theatre presents Hear Me, their third production after highly successful runs of RE-ID and As You Always Do. This powerful physical theatre performance is based on an absurd drama Witnesses by an acclaimed Polish author Tadeusz Różewicz.

The play explores human beings' growing inability to communicate in today's world. What causes lack of communication between us?
Are we still able to understand another human being or have we grown apart irreversibly?

Performed in English.

Directed and choreographed by Robert Przekwas
Performed by Agnieszka Bresler and Piotr Kurjata
Music composed by Krzysztof Mielczarek
Design and Photography Jacek Hubner

Review

Performed with great intensity by Agnieszka Bresler and Piotr Kurjata, the show tackles a familiar subject - a couple relationship, its lies, passions, and tensions - with extraordinary directness and flair, using an electrifying mix of text, music light and movement. (...)

Everything about the show, in other words, bursts with talent and insight The text is fascinating, the performances are vivid and precise, Krzysztof Mielczarek's music and sound is outstanding.
