You are entering a world where reality intertwines with imagination, and logic gives way to absurdity. Klucz Theatre invite you to participate in a creative process in which both the performance and the artists are made. In a space where they can express themselves on their own terms, create art in accordance with their own experiences and sensibilities.
Every movement, breath, sound, word and element of costume is part of a larger puzzle whose meaning may elude you. Not everything will be obvious, not everything will have its immediate explanation. Still, but you will eventually see that curious, absurd theatrical puzzle solved.
The artists of Klucz Theatre are fully fledged creators of Intro; they do not play roles „scripted” by someone else, but construct their own stage presence, affirming their own existence and experiences. These are their stories, their visions, their courage to overcome boundaries, both physical and those that exist only in our heads.
Intro is not just a performance—it is a manifesto of courage, creativity and the need for expression. Music, body, chaos and order—all this makes up an experience that may surprise, amuse, confuse and perhaps even change you.
Let yourself be carried away. Let yourself get lost. Only to find yourself afterwards.
