DESCRIPTION OF THE PERFORMANCE
The performance "I’ll Eat Your Jam" is the story of Grandma Marmalade, who lives in the Bałuty district of Łódź. Although the characters are a typical local community of neighbours living in a Bałuty tenement house, the story is actually very universal. Peaceful neighbourly relations are mixed with a convoluted criminal mystery that includes an international angle. The atmosphere of the Bałuty neighbourhood blends with rainy, Scandinavian crime novels, film noir, and current ecological issues. It is a story of intergenerational relationships.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE ARTISTS
CHOREA Theatre Children's Groups - have been creating spontaneous and highly improvised theatre performances based on their own ideas, for several years. Their theatre workshops take place regularly, under the guidance of Joanna Filarska and invited guests. We introduce a lot of shared fun and a bit of stage discipline, as well as work on group integration and team energy. The main idea is to give children the opportunity for creative expression, with as little adult interference as possible.
The aim of the CHOREA Theatre Children's Groups is to unleash the creative potential that lies dormant in every young person, to introduce creative group work and some aspects of CHOREA Theatre training, to integrate, to develop a sense of familiarity with one's own body, and to promote work as a partner and a team. The work is based primarily on the children's creativity, which is the starting point for creating a theatre. An important aspect is the development of cooperation skills and building mutual respect.
Theatre activities for children include body work, music workshops, set design and art workshops, but above all, work with children's imagination. The prerequisite for participating in the groups is a commitment to attend regularly and a joyful willingness to join in.
CHOREA Theatre Oldest Children's Group - has been active since 2017. The group has collaborated with artists: Janusz Adam Biedrzycki, Jola Królicka, Filip Appel, Paweł Korbus, Dominika Krzyżanowska, Patryk Zakrocki, Dorota Porowska, Katarzyna Żuk, Przemysław Buksiński, Mateusz Pakuła, Grzegorz Fajngold, Anna Raczkowska, and Janusz Szymański. The group has produced theatre performances: "Theatre Jokes" (2018), "The City" (2019), "From Time to Time" (2022) and the exhibition "Memory" (2020).
