Szymon Michlewicz-Sowa

The producers of ‘Canaries’ are an informal group of artists selected in the ‘ROZBARK_new perspective’ competition organised by the ROZBARK Theatre in Bytom in order to produce a performance based on the history of the Rozbark mine. The performers are mainly graduates of the National Academy of Theatre Arts in Kraków and the Dance Theatre Department in Bytom. The main idea behind the performance was to pair word and movement, working on the border between dance and dramatic theatre.

Performance synopsis

Canaries in mines are representatives of the species serinus canaria sensorem and should go under that scientific name. The image of canaries – yellow, hard to capture, full of twittering and trills – does not harmonise with the darkness grasped in mine metaphors. And yet, a closer look reveals that these images are analogous. Darkness and danger, joy and community – canaries always sing for someone – and unexpected death lurking in the nooks of the underground. All these are united in ‘Canaries’.
