About the show
Following Tranquillo and Intermezzo, two award-winning and critically acclaimed productions, Teatr Klucz returns to stage with Amoroso, a sincere and intimate show in which artists tell a tale of love, in its various forms. They do it endlessly, with devotion and without remorse. To the end. Without end.
Amoroso is for lovers and loved ones, for the happy and pleased. For the lost and the abandoned.
This thought-provoking production asks: What love really means to you? Do you love sincerely? Are you willing to love at all? What are you willing to sacrifice for love? On stage, we will see the whole spectrum of human emotional states and behaviour reflecting the different facets of love.
A poetic, oneiric, unhurried performance combining various means of stage expression, with particular emphasis on dance, stage movement and improvisation. Small parts of the spoken text will be translated into Polish sign language.
The choreography of Amoroso is the result of collaborative work by Teatr Klucz ensemble and its artistic supervisor, Janusz Orlik.
Klucz Theatre
Klucz Theatre is one of the few theatre companies in Poland formed of artists with disabilities, who have achieved a high level of professionalism despite having no formal training. The group’s earlier performance, „Tranquillo”, received the Main Prize of ‘The Best OFF’ Competition for the best independent theater performance in 2022.
The artists of Teatr Klucz are participants of the ‘Przylesie’ Occupational Therapy Workshop run by the Na Tak Association. The group began working in 2006 with the establishment of a theater workshop under the leadership of therapist Hanna Rynowiecka and actor Wojciech Deneka and since 2016 has been working at the Zamek Cultural Centre being its permanent resident. Since 2021 Janusz Orlik became group’s leader, as well as director and choreographer of subsequent productions. The same year a professional performer also joined the ensemble.
