"Kordian" by Słowacki, director: Erwin Axer

"Kordian" by Słowacki, director: Erwin Axer, stage design: Władysław Daszewski; Tadeusz Łomnicki (Kordian).The performance was created when the terror of the Stalin regime lessened and the “pre-October” thaw started. Erwin Axer’s adaptation was an apology for the Romantic non-conformism. Against the tide of tradition, the director offered his audience a theatre of the word, reflective drama instead of a monumental performance. Tadeusz Łomnicki (1927–1992) played the title character."
