The most important events, the most important meetings. A story meant to show the great individuality of Conrad Drzewiecki and Ewa Wyciechowska. [The film] also pays tribute to Mirosław Różalski, who steered the company through a very difficult time when its fate was uncertain… And recalls the people who were making the idea of dance theatre happen. The idea conceived by Conrad Drzewiecki and further developed by Ewa Wyciechowska. [The film is] to show how the language of dance was changing over the years…”

More about VOLTA

The piece focuses on showcasing the transformations that occur in an individual when confronted with a group. The fear of alienation, on one hand, and the dread of entering into a close relationship, on the other, are two opposites between which the characters oscillate. Volta analyses the mechanisms shaping people’s key decisions which irreversibly influence their future life and place in the society.
