Project: Nights and Days is the latest fruit of Mikołaj Mikołajczyk's collaboration with the Wrzos Song Ensemble of Zakrzewo. Created in the framework of last year's Revolutions festival Now Is the Time garnered splendid reviews in the Polish press, was hosted at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, and was also shown at Malta Festival in Poznań.

This year Mikołajczyk has joined a team of collaborators – Małgorzata Dziewulska (dramaturgy), set designer and video artist Mirek Kaczmarek, and composer Zbigniew Kozub – to go one step further. Seniors from the Wrzos Choir will grapple not only with the demands of movement theater, but also with their own life stories. They have sought inspiration in the history of Wielkopolska written in Maria Dąbrowska's Nights and Days, inquiring into the summation of life, its fulfillment and non-fulfillment.

The performance will feature fifteen seniors and their choreographer, Mikołaj Mikołajczyk. The Zakrzewo ensemble will be supported by dancer Iwona Pasińska and actor Adam Ferency. A shared language will be created in this unusual stage genre, which might be called the theater of participation.
