The Adam Mickiewicz’s Dziady /The Forefathers’ Eve, directed by Maja Kleczewska at the Slowacki Theatre in Kraków, shortly after its premiere in November 2021 became the most debated theatrical event in Poland and, even more, the public enemy of Polish political power. An open letter signed by the Slowacki Theatre collective denounces the abusive dismissal of the theatre's director as a political reaction to the performance. Scena.ro publishes the open letter and supports Polish artists' resistance to political interference in art.
