TERAZ POLIŻ invited kids and their parents to join the group for reading long-forgotten 19th- and 20th-century Polish plays for the youngest audiences. The meetings have been enriched with plastic arts and other similar attractions, all embedded within theatre, a motif treated as a common starting point rather than a restriction. All the readings were aimed at kids aged over five.

QUIRKS AND QUEERNESS is research put to practice onstage. It’s also an attempt at combining two distinct aspects of imagination and artistic work: the visual and the emotional. The project also aims to restore the memory of what has been forgotten, but may still serve as a source of great inspiration.
