As
part of its focus on the work of the great Polish theatre director, Tadeusz
Kantor, the Festival in association with BAC presents a unique, three night
season of previously unseen archive footage. The films were all created by Duncan
Ward, who met Kantor in the course of a visit to Poland in 1985, travelled with
him for two years and returned frequently to continue filming until Kantor’s
death in 1990. The season comprises two documentaries, made fifteen years apart,
together with filmed stage productions of Kantor’s definitive trilogy,
Dead Class (1972), Wielopole Wielopole (1982) and Let The Artist
Die (1985).
