Performance synopsis
Choreographer and scriptwriter Robert Bondara has created an original ballet based on the motives of ‘Zniewolony Umysł’ (The Captive Mind), one of Czeslaw Milosz’s most famous literary works. The show is about totalitarian systems that enslave people, taking away their freedom and dignity. Since its premiere in 2011, it has been one of the most acclaimed and moving Polish ballet performances of the last decade. The show is addressed to both adults and teenagers (ages 16+).
