Teater à…ttonde Dagen
Founded in Poznan in 1964, the “Eighth day theatre” is an experimental group which draws its inspiration from life, working through improvisations to create an expressionist style, combining the tragic and the grotesque. Involved in the political struggles in Poland since 1938, the group was tolerated, censured and repressed up to the proclamation of the state of emergency in 1981. In 1986, it was banned and performed clandestinely. Some of its members were imprisoned, others managed to move to the West. The filmmakers followed the actors on their European tours for five years. Through the pain of separation and exile, the immense hopes raised by political changes in the East, theatre merges with life in artistic creation.
