OCH TEATR! / KRZYSZTOF MATERNA
Czas nas uczy pogody

Czas nas uczy pogody is a music show which transforms our Polish, stereotypical image of old age, inspired by the performance of the band Young@Heart at Malta Festival Poznań 2011. According to Krzysztof Materna: “it is the story about ‘the youth in the old age’, thus, telling that even though we grow in experiences and wisdom with age, it is also worth retaining happiness, energy and will to create”. On stage, we will see seniors – amateur singers – and hear the gems of Polish popular music, with such memorable songs as: Czas nas uczy pogody or Kiedy byłem małym chłopcem. As Aneta Kozioł wrote in “Polityka”: “Materna did not try to close the amateur artists in some storyline or impose on them roles to enact. Instead, he created atmosphere in which they were not afraid to open up, infused them with courage, encouraged to show their souls. (...) It was such a success that the relaxed, friendly atmosphere on stage infected the audience who not only admires the great performances, but also hums the songs together with the performers. It transpires that singing together can be a remedy both to the autumn of life and the dullness of the outside.”
