Young Eryk fell in love if we heard Chopin. He wanted the songs of his master. But his interpretations have disappeared. Everything changed when she started lessons with Professor Pylińska. Madame sent to the park listening to the sounds of nature. According to him, he was looking for the truth in nature. She also instructed Erik to make love before sitting at the piano. Because only an artist can create from him. Lessons with Mrs. Pylińska made him realize the hero of genuine demands, intimate whispers, honesty of feelings and sensitivity. It suited him for an artist.
For the story of what has been so often forgotten in recent times. About the love of art. About passion that can create masterpieces. About the world of pulsating energies that shape the artist. About the highest value of culture. Just like Chopin’s music, which has entered the canon of world masterpieces – emphasizes Robert Gliński, the director of the show.
The title role of Mrs. Pylińska will be played by Joanna Żółkowska, who will celebrate the 50th anniversary of her artistic work with the performance of Mrs. Pylińska and Chopin’s Secret. Eryka Kacper Kuszewski, while Paulina Holtz will perform as Aimée.
The show will have light, fun and even comedy on. This is due to the juxtaposition of two different characters: Erik, pianist adept and Mrs. Pylińska. The dramaturgy of the performance will be built by Chopin’s works. During the performance, the audience will hear fragments of polonaises, mazurkas, sonatas, etudes in various interpretations, played live by Lena Ledoff.
