O teatrze/ about the theatre
Fantazja jest Polskim Teatrem Dramatycznym jedynym w Sydney. Teatr dofinansowany jest głównie przez sponsorów, obecnie z "Fantazja" współpracują znakomici scenografowie, muzycy, artyści-plastycy i reżyserzy filmowi. " Fantazja" jest teatrem społecznym, przygotowujemy sztuki teatralne oparte jedynie na literaturze polskiej. Praca twórcza przynosi nam wiele satysfakcji i radości. Łączy .... pasja do teatru! Fantazyjni... pióra Eli Chylewskiej Stwory wyobraźni, fantazyjni ludzie spełniają życzenia swoje, cudze, zmyślonym postaciom dają życie na sezon, dwa, na dłużej... Być z nimi chcą jak kochankowie darują ciało, duszę, zdrowie, i szept, i krzyk, i wycie co serce im podpowie. Jak zakochani chcą być razem, kładą odświętne makijaże spójni w miłości, pewni ról zaczarowane twarze. Żyją związani przyrzeczeniem z piękną, tragiczną Melpomene kurtyna w górę, maski w dół, olśnienie... |
The Polish Drama Theatre “Fantazja” was formed in 2002 as a non-profit organisation and its work is supported by sponsors. It would be difficult to say that it is an amateur theatre, since many of its actors have formal drama training. The group works in cooperation with professional set designers, musicians, artists, as well as film directors. The Artistic Director of Theatre Fantazja is Joanna Borkowska-Surucic, a graduate of Polish Film Academy in film editing and Australian Film & Radio School in video editing. Over seven years, the group has performed the following plays: “Moralnosc pani Dulskiej” (" Morality of Mrs Dulska") by Gabriela Zapolska, “Lekkomyslna siostra” ("Reckless Sister") by Wlodzimierz Perzynski, " Foltas” based on a play by Jerzy Jurandot “Maz Foltasiowny” ("Foltas' Husband"), “Divertimento zmieszane” ("Divertimento Mixed") and “Divertimento zmieszane poraz drugi” ( "Divertimento Mixed Again") based on texts by Jeremi Przybora, “Party - wariacje na temat” ("Party -varations on a theme") based on Marek Gronski’s play " Party” and a number of stage productions for special occasions. Theatre “Fantazja” successfully performed at POLART –Polish culture festival in Sydney, Hobart, Adelaide and Perth. The latest theatre productions include the modern plays: "Roszada" ("Castling"), "Zelazna Konstrukcja " ("Iron Construction"), "Amerykanski Wspolnik" ("American Partner"), "Klub Kobiet Porzuconych" ("Abandon Women Club") and "Grzechy Starosci-wariacje na temat" ("Sins of Old Age- varations on a theme"). Play “Roszada” ("Castling") by Pawel Mossakowski was the most popular and the most performed theatre production. This is a modern Romeo and Juliet story of young people who came from different families. These families despite mutual feelings have to adapt to the new situation. The comedy is full of surprises and twists, quick dialogues and astonishing stage design. The play does not only entertain but also educate, this production is well exposed to the audience of all generations. Pawel Mossakowski is a well known screenwriter, play writer, journalist and film producer. His film credits include: “Komornik” as a producer, “Tam i z powrotem” as a screenwriter. In 2008 the film “Angelus” was screened at the Sydney Film Festival which Mossakowski co-produced. In the 90s Pawel Mossakowski wrote plays for Polish radio. Presently he writes movie reviews for the newspaper “Gazeta Wyborcza” also he is the programme director of Canal+ TV Poland. Pawel Mossakowski came to Sydney for opening show of his play "Roszada".
