Special Lecture by Polish Stage Director Krzysztof Popio?ek

October 17, 2024

On Thursday, October 10, 2024, we held a special lecture event, inviting Krzysztof Popio?ek, a stage director from the Teatr KANA theater in Szczecin, Poland, in collaboration with the Polish Cultural Institute in Tokyo.

This event was held as a special lecture to mark the start of the Japan tour of the Teatr KANA production ��Possible Worlds��, which was performed at Theater X (Kai) in Ryogoku, Tokyo from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th October. Mr. Popio?ek spoke passionately about his unique theory of theater based on his own stage philosophy, with the theme of ��The Universality of Stories in the Crisis of Narrative��.

After the lecture, the audience asked a wide range of questions, including questions about the commonality of metaphors that transcend national borders and the differences in theatrical culture between Poland and Japan, and the event was a great success.
