Florence Foster Jenkins. The world’s worst singer. The first lady of the falling scale, a lavish star and a magnanimous legend. Devoid of talent, but full of passion and determination. And with just the right amount of money... Where did the Divine phenomenon come from and why did thousands of people come to see her perform at New York’s Carnegie Hall? To laugh or perhaps to express admiration for the “triumph of enthusiasm over talent”? For years, this true story has inspired people to pursue their dreams regardless of the obstacles. Because, as the example of ‘divine Florence’ shows, any failure can turn into success. If we only want to.

Peter Quilter’s play is one of the most famous comedies in contemporary theatre, and its film adaptation brought an unforgettable performance from Meryl Streep. The staging prepared by Tadeusz Łomnicki and starring Grażyna Bułka as Florence, with creations of the title character by Gosia Baczyńska, is an attempt to see the world through Florence’s eyes. It is a reality seen in divine colours, immersed in a camp aesthetic. A bit fairytale-like, full of fantasy. It is a world in which nothing is impossible.
