16 NEW EPIPHANIES FESTIVAL
5 March - 13 April 2025
"And what will you return to them for what they have given to you?"

Inspired by the quote "remember that they gave birth to you, and what will you repay them for what they have given you?", we ask about intergenerational obligations and what place the family has in contemporary society. In our WHOLE PROGRAMME you will find an attempt to answer these questions, in every performance, film and concert.

PROGRAMME
12.04.2025 Sat.12:00, 15:00
Spectacle: Fray Granda Bzik
Kolekktacz

A performance about the meeting of bodies, energies, associations.
Meeting at the moment.
Exceptional, unique, unrepeatable.
Calmness, closeness, community, family. What do we experience in it? Variety, surprises, misunderstandings, fun, breakdowns, quarrels and brawls! We are different from each other, each carrying his or her own story. We meet, we wait for each other, we run away, we look for the next paths. We are together, connected by an invisible web of feelings and thoughts. Do we sometimes have a hard time with each other? Sure! After all, everyone oversteps their boundaries, everyone stumbles, everyone sparks their own grandstanding from time to time!

Three female performers build and explore a multi-sensory world in a free, open and inclusive way. This is their story of experimentation, maturation, learning about themselves and discovering others.
The meeting is accompanied by Intibag sensory objects.

The performance uses lights in different colours. Wordless.
Every spectator must have a ticket, regardless of age (child, parent, guardian).
The actors interact with the Audience.
All Spectators are asked to remove their footwear.
The ticket price will include a workshop at 2pm. Registration required.
We dedicate the workshop to children from 3 years and close adults, including participants with special needs.

The Warsaw interdisciplinary festival, organised by the John Paul II Thought Centre and co-created by Piotr Duda and Marek Pasieczny, has existed since 2008 and is organised during the Lenten season.

Each edition of the Festival (there was none in 2011 and 2015) has its own theme, which inspires the artists invited to collaborate, and at the same time is the common denominator of the festival events.

During the 16th edition of the New Epiphanies Festival, traditionally held during Lent under the motto "What will you pay them back for what they have given you?", we will reflect on what intergenerational obligations mean for us - both "childless Lambadians" and holders of the Large Family Card - and on the place of the family in contemporary society.
