The Polish Cultural Institute
presents TR Warszawa,
one of Poland’s most vital
theater companies, on its return
to BAM with the U.S. premiere of
Krum by
Hanoch Levin
–
the influential Israeli
playwright whose work is rarely
produced in the U.S – as part of
the
25th
BAM Next Wave Festival.
As directed by Krzysztof
Warlikowski, who made his
U.S. directorial debut with a
haunting production of The
Dybbuk at BAM’s 2004 Next
Wave Festival, Levin’s morality
tale centers on a community lost
in hopelessness and devoid of
any faith in love, family, or
marriage. Against a backdrop of
striking films of modern-day Tel
Aviv, Warlikowski elicits
gripping performances in this
actor-driven work which includes
some of Poland’s most celebrated
actors.

The performance is co-produced
by Stary Teatr (Krakow). Major
support is provided by the Trust
for Mutual Understanding, with
additional support from the
Polish Cultural Institute in New
York and the
Ministry of Culture and National
Heritage of Poland
