We invite you to a game in which the rules are seemingly known, yet all tricks are allowed. A competition in which betrayal, cruelty, contempt, death, abuse of power and violence are unavoidable. To a competition in which you can win what is most precious... Is this what you want? Will you do anything to be able to turn your eyes towards the light again?

The play by Michele Santeramo takes us into a world of disturbing play of insinuations, dangers and disappointments. In an ascetic and evocative manner, director Roberto Bacci reveals page after page that we might prefer never to see... Well, is seeing a gift, or is it a curse?

The performance “Towards the Light (Alla luce)” is a co-production of the Stanisław Wyspiański Silesian Theatre in Katowice and the Jerzy Grotowski Institute in Wrocław. Its Polish premiere took place in Katowice on 1 March 2024 at the Malarnia Stage, while the Wrocław premiere took place at the Na Grobli Studio on 8 March 2024.
