A New Theatrical Experience

This isn’t your standard Shakespeare in the park. Hailed as a groundbreaking “theatrical oratorio,” Songs of Lear ditches linear plot for pure, distilled feeling. Directed by the company’s visionary co-founder Grzegorz Bral, the production unfolds as a sequence of haunting songs, each one a dramatic poem capturing a key moment from the tragedy. Imagine Shakespeare’s text fragmented, then reassembled through stunning vocal harmonies, hypnotic physicality and a soundscape that becomes the characters themselves. It’s minimalist in its staging but powerful in its impact.
