"Michael Jackson did not die, he lives in Poland." "Return of the King" in Wroclaw Modern Theater

The performance "Return of the King" directed by Tomasz Hynka, realized in the convention of the theater comedy, is the latest production of the Wroc?aw Contemporary Theater. The premiere of the performance, whose protagonist is Michael Jackson, will take place on July 12.

The drama was awarded on the stage of the Wroc?aw Modern Theater in the 3rd Dramatic Competition of the Contact Zone.

As we read in the preview of the performance, "Michael Jackson did not die, he lives in Poland and secretly plans to save his new homeland from the world." "Corpse found at Neverland Ranch is the corpse of Jackson's double, fully responsible for all pedophile acts, for which the King of Pop is wrongly accused. Real Michael Jackson decides to return to Poland - the country in which he was immensely adored - to fulfill the promise given to Poles in the 1990s, "it wrote.

According to the director, the text of Micha? Walczak is entertaining, and at the same time he speaks about very important things, including about the fact that if a man is immature, he is vulnerable to manipulation, and also touches on the issue of Polish messianism.

"A few years ago, it seemed to me that messianism is a thing of the past, but it still exists in public space, in our language, it is constantly alive and telling a lot about us, about our spiritual condition. In the performance, we reveal his posterity, caricature, anachronism, "said the director during the media rehearsal.

As he explained, Michael Jackson performs the role of a savior in the performance, "someone who through entertainment can save Poland and Polish artists by building the National Park of Entertainment promised in the 1990s".

The director added that the idea of ??making the show in the convention of a theater comic was born while reading the text. "It seems to me that the imaginarium of the Polish messianism will be perfectly found and will feel in this convention. The comic theater is a theater that tells a shortcut and is an extraordinary challenge for actors. It's the theater of imagination; between pictures there is what is probably the most important, just like in the words "- explained Hynek.
