Black Night White Day

Performance by Jubilo Ensemble as part of the Hidden Cities project

Sat–Sun 12–13 December 2015, 19:00 
MiserArt – strefa kultury w labiryncie wykluczenia, ul. Cybulskiego 35a
Admission free


I come so that you don’t make a black night of a white day
Papusza, Gypsy poet

The performance’s main theme is the journey: meaning both a travel – a path from one city to another, from one meeting to the next one – and the internal travel of a character within the spectrum of its emotions, means of communication and expression. It is a journey that allows to discover and pass borders, cover distances and face the way we perceive the external world, its colours, its diversity and variety. The opposition of the title is the starting point of this journey. The contradiction of the world is its source.

Following Dante and Marco Polo we invite the audience on a journey through “cities”, faces and music, making it a part of a colourful story in which the words connect the worlds despite all distance.

The international ensemble of Jubilo leads socio-educational and theatrical projects within the marginalized communities of adults with experience of mental illness, physically and mentally disabled youth, Roma children in a camp in Wroc³aw, refugees in Bosnia, homeless adults, prisoners and others. Jubilo was founded in 2011 in a protest against cultural exclusion and social marginalisation. It aims to disintegrate social, economic, language and cultural barriers through the action of artistic encounters where the platform of exchange is the language of theatre and music. The performative line of their work develops since 2013 as part of Scherzo performative gatherings (Scherzo #1, O¶rodek Postaw Twórczych, December 2013; Scherzo nad Odr±, the Grotowski Institute, June 2014; and Scherzo na Andrzejki, MiserArt, November 2014) – artistic events on the border of gathering, performative action, concert and musical jam session.

Hidden Cities is a series of musical and theatrical events in non-theatrical spaces, free and open to a very diverse audience. In 2015 the project is run in two places of Wroc³aw’s Nadodrze region: MiserArt at Cybulskiego 35 and Prison No 1 at Kleczkowska 35. The project aims to give visibility to the hidden places on the map of Wroclaw by using them as spaces of artistic activity, exchange of experience and social dialogue in the field of culture.
