the repertoire constantly. When it will go. It is not known. We are talking about the play “White power, black memory”, which has already brought the Drama Theatre several awards.

the starting Point for the exhibition “White power, black memory” was a book – a collection of stories, Martin Kąckiego. However, this is not an adaptation, the correct transfer of characters and situations, the assembled journalists. In the play the creators – the author of the adaptation of Peter Rowicki and Director Peter Ratajczak – inspired stories and people. Launched the imagination of the audience, creating a new face and new possible or impossible events. Emerged powerful performance, but universal. Don’t fall in it the name “Bialystok,” although viewers can find stories of people “here.” The show premiered on 16 April 2016 – accompanied her to the protest of right-wing organizations, in particular, the NRO and Youth Wszechpolskiej and part of PiS MPs. They had reservations in the vision Kąckiego, which was not to serve the image of the city.
For censorship of art did not happen. The play was awarded four awards during the XVI all-Russian Festival of Modern Drama “presented Reality” in Zabrze. The festival jury awarded the team aktorskiemu first prize. Peter Ratajczak was awarded for directing of the play. The team of creators of the script of the play was awarded the prize of Stanislav Bieniasza. And the jury of the Festival awarded to acting group performance of “best representation of political reality”.
Left? Not?
Peter Poltorak, which from 1 January 2017, the new Theatre Director, said that the ballet will remain in the repertoire. As stressed at a press conference at the beginning of the month”, ” art “quality made”. Noted, however, that plays only for the 150 people that sit on part of the scene. In turn, the main goal of the new Director, increasing the number of spectators in the theatre (limit in 2017 38. spectators).
the media reported that “White power, black memory” will disappear this season from the scene. In addition, it is not shown in Olsztyńskich Theatre Meetings, and also at the festival Counterpoint in Szczecin.
the Reason? Should be several of them. As follows from messages of mass-media, the Director focuses on the preparations for the premiere of “Balladyny” and increase the number of viewers in the theater. In addition, one of the actors playing in the play for a year went abroad.
the Speaker surprised
- the Board of the Voivodeship in surprise took the information in the media that the alleged withdrawal of Lord Peter Półtoraka, Director of Drama Theater. Aleksandra Węgierki in białystok of the play entitled “White power, black memory” of two important national festivals and theatre, was dictated by the provisions of the agreement with the leadership “in terms of organizational and financial” of the Theater – said Ursula Arter, press Secretary of the Marshal office.
In the statement prepared by the Council also States that many of the Peter Półtoraka “provisions relating to: the minimum threshold of attendance of audience, number of plays and number Premier, was developed jointly by both parties to the contract, the Board and the management of the Theatre. And the increase in the number of viewers visiting the Theatre was one of the main goals that personally Mr. Peter Poltorak suggested in the author’s conception of the Theatre, presented in the competition for the position of Director”.
And further that the refusal to participate in prestigious festivals-it’s a personal decision of the Director of the Theatre, and records the mutually agreed contract should not be used for its justification.
One legal and the replacement actor
We turned to the Drama Theatre with two questions. First, why is the play “White power, black memory” is not playing the rest of the season at the Drama Theatre? And, secondly, for what reasons the performance of “White power, black memory” was removed from the festival – Olsztyn Theatre Meetings and Counterpoint in Szczecin?
that’s the answer we got:
- currently, negotiations are ongoing with the Director of the play – Peter Ratajczakiem and screenplay – by Peter Rowickim on removal from the play fragments of script which may be encumbered by the lack of legal. Also made conclusions about the need to replace one of the actors. After clarification of these issues will be taken further solution manual for imagine, says Peter Poltorak, Director of the Drama Theatre.
