Ewa Zurakowska nominated on Thalia Awards

Ewa Żurakowska appeared in a wider nomination for the Thalia Awards 2022 for her role in the production Home Beyond the Borders?!

“…the performer tells a suggestive story about the world of the Czech-Polish border, which she literally “materializes” with her intense physical acting, both in the form of dialogues with the audience and in her own dream monologues. She is characterized by sensitivity, complex acting and a charismatic ability to establish direct contact with the audience.”

A year ago, the production had its Czech site-specific premiere in Prague’s Invalidovna, and soon you will have the opportunity to see it again!
