Polish with English subtitles
dir. Edyta Wroblewska

Eminent Polish stage director, actor, unforgettable pedagogue, and director of many theater companies, Zygmunt Hübner was a part of the political reality, but he was also able to formulate an autonomous voice in the grim reality of communist Poland. This documentary is also a tribute to the vision of theatre proposed by Hübner, a no-nonsense institution inviting the viewer to a conversation and devoted to the issues important for society. It was the theatre that gets involved.
Twórcza sylwetka jednego z najwybitniejszych polskich rezyserów teatralnych, aktora i niezapomnianego pedagoga oraz dyrektora wielu teatrów. Film przedstawia Zygmunta Hübnera jako artyste wpisanego w kontekst polityczny, lecz takze potrafiacego sformuowac autonomiczny glos pomimo ponurej rzeczywistosci PRL-u. Dokument jest takze holdem dla wizji teatru, jaki proponowal Hübner rzeczowego, zapraszajacego widza do rozmowy i oddanego istotnym sprawom spoleczenstwa. Teatru, który sie wtraca.
