La MaMa Presents
in association with the Polish Cultural Institute and Komuna//Warszawa
Directed by Cezary Tomaszewski
By Komuna//Warszawa
This musically-driven queer fantasia on masculinity and war lays bare the xenophobic heart of modern-day patriotism. With archaic military text, songs from the father of Polish opera, and absurd physical performances, Cezary Goes to War subverts gender norms and exposes the fragility of the patriarchy.
Cezary Tomaszewski, a rising star of the Eastern European avant-garde, directs for Komuna//Warszawa, one of the most vital independent theaters in Poland
Press
"In short, Cezary is a treat...funny yet poignant and smart in its layering of style and content.”
- Donald Hutera The Times, www.thetimes.co.uk
"Cezary Goes to War is an idiosyncratic piece bursting with originality and verve”
- Richard Beck, www.BroadwayBaby.com
