Since the 10th jubilee edition, Festival ZDARZENIA will bear the name of Józef Szajna – our Honorable Patron. In order to celebrate this moment, we wish to tell you a few words about this great Artist and show various events (referring to Professor’s rich creativity). It was hard however, to choose out of many ideas, those which will commemorate our Master in a full sense, without too much of a grand style. Therefore, one of the ideas was to demonstrate that Artist’s works are still inspiring for the young generation of artists of various fields – we will have the happening and the night’s talks to prove it. However, in order to see how the inspiration conveys on the valuable artistic propositions, it is necessary to discover Professor’s art again and again. To propagate the high art, to which we remain humble servants, we will present a documentary film and exhibition of works showing his activeness in theatre and plastic art.
