Part Three "Anhelli: The Calling" Section Three, is a tribute to the Polish romantic poet, Juliusz Slowacki and his journey to the Holy Land from Naples, where he wrote his biblical stylized poem. "Anhelli's" theme is a phenomenon that theatre needs to face in order to protect its essence and its place in this world. This is a theme of unity, disintegration and of possession, of making a vessel for the other. A theme of illuminating, of being possessed by an angel.
The Festival is proud to present the northern California debut of Teatr Zar the resident company at the Grotowski Institute in Wroclaw, Poland. "The Gospels of Childhood Triptych" is the culmination of artistic director, Jaroslaw Fret and the company's more than 10 years of investigative research and development into ancient sacred songs. It is a seminal work that also builds on the nearly half a century of teaching and exploration conducted by Jerzy Grotowski. The company emulates Grotowski's ethos of ensemble work and develops its productions through a long process of creating its own theatrical language. A language that, like Grotowski's in the last years of his life, utilizes Eastern Orthodox music as a source for the creation of a performance that seeks to recreate the very roots of theatre itself.
