The ticket price for the show includes a three-course Silesian dinner. Performance without English subtitles.

When the roles of a married couple haunted by the demons of their past are played by an acting duo – the outstanding Agnieszka Radzikowska and Dariusz Chojnacki, who are, moreover, married in real life – the audience can never be quite sure where, in the performance, the real gives way to smokes and mirrors. The temperature of the evening rises even further thanks to its extraordinary setting: the luxurious five-star Stradom House hotel, whose restaurants will serve dishes from their menus to theatregoers during the performance. Godej do mie / Speak to Me is both an exclusive event for a small audience and an intimate performance in which the actors are literally within arm’s reach. The characters created by Radzikowska and Chojnacki echo of famous artistic couples – Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, and Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, but also Aleksandra Śląska and Janusz Warmiński, and Krystyna Zachwatowicz-Wajda and Andrzej Wajda. In such relationships, it is not only love and emotion that bring things to the boil, but so do personal ambition and artistic plans that are hard to reconcile with private life. The Katowice production is a vivisection of a relationship that often reaches this boiling point – and offers it to the audience to watch it up close.

Its director, Robert Talarczyk, is well known to both Boska Komedia / Divine Comedy and Kraków audiences. He is responsible for Byk / The Bull, co-produced by Łaźnia Nowa, as well as for numerous productions speaking in a modern manner about the Silesian identity and history. As the director of the Silesian Theatre in Katowice, he regularly comes to Boska Komedia / Divine Comedy with works that not only draw audiences’ attention but also win recognition from the jury.
