Simon Mol’s play Race of Stamps, directed by Polish director Mariusz Orski, shall be premiered on January 22nd at 18:00 at the National Ethnographic Museum, ul. Kredytowa 1., in Warsaw.
Could someone in a dire situation like a refugee dare to laugh? Is there humor at all at a refugee center? Above all, is there any form of hope for those pending decisions to determine their fates? And how do politicians react when the subject of migration pops up on the table? As perceived by Poland Monthly; ‘Migrator Theatre brakes barriers through actual and thematic plays'.
Race of Stamps is a political drama that tackles the thorny theme of the politics and problems of migration and cross-cultural currents from two perspectives; from the perspective of those who decided the fate of the migrants, and from the perspective of the migrants themselves, who in the course of waiting for a decision from the authorities at the refugee centers, wind time narrating their ordeals and plans to each other.
The play will be performed by a mixture of professional and amateurs actors from well over 7 different countries. There shall be a special appearance in the play of two honorary actors from the Polish national Theatre, Miko³aj Klimek and Kasia Romanczuk.
The English weekly newsmagazine Warsaw Voice and TOK FM are the media patrons for the event.
