Night of impressions
Eight performances and three premieres. Everything in the framework of XVI International Theater Festival MALTA. How to dance, with a flourish? That assumption is included in the work of the PTT. Without any hesitation we can say that dynamism and authenticity is the domain of artists.
Unfortunately there was no premiere of performance of "Insanity" in the creation of Paweł Matyasik and Liliana Owoc-Pierzchała. Mysterious project in the process, which was going to put to work with the emotions (not emotions) - Paweł Matyasik as he promised. Hopefullu there will be opportunity to watch it soon. Premiere which has opened the Night has been "Balladyna". Karina Adamczak-Kasprzak and Agata Ambrozińska-Rachuta inspired by Slowacki’s drama. Translate it into movement, gesture and facial expressions. Almost half-hour performance was a interesting story. Unfortunately, neither funny nor happy. Tell us about waiting and sisters’ loneliness. The beginning was the sequence of movements three times colorful. Relationship, interaction and synchronization, go on the first plan. In the next part there are no synchronization. Interaction remains, but in fact, deadly. The transition dancers occurs. The staging is also a story of transformation. Initially, the sisters are friendly. Permission is warm weather. This is followed by a pause, in which the blissful listen to the voice of Michael Zebrowski (Kirkor). Characteristic dresses of dancers were stained with blood. Visible trace of the crime we could see from the beginning. Praise to Rafał Kasprzak for the hypnotic music. Excellent corresponded with the dance. Interesting is the fact that the role of blond Balladyna, while in Slowacki Balladyna had black hair and pale complexion and dark eyes, Alina opposite to the sister had a very bright blond hair and blue eyes. Here the opposite. What would come next? It is worth to see one of the newest production of Polish Dance Theater.

"3x3" choreographed by Agnieszka Błacha and "Mat" in the creation of Paweł Malicki had premiere on 20 February 2009 on II Premiere Festival ATELIER. The artist has been inspired by Jacek Malczewski’s paintings. She has focused on the woman. The woman is the essence of an interesting, emotional and inspiring. This is what author wanted to show. Three dancers, taken straight from the images: "Chimera", "Medusa" and "Thanatos", on the stage one cell was missing. Fortunately, two dancers, supported by Mariola Hendrykowska, did excellently. Good music and avant-garde, almost grotesque Zofia  Jakubiec’s costumes gave an effect of energy spectacle.

Shah ... , and mats. Paul Malicki versus the audience. Dancer hypnotized audience not only efficiently but effectively. By denying the breathtaking female audience. Could be truly touched. For some, it may be a spectacle of himself falling for others to falling in love ... Emotions, and above all emotions - it was in the "You". You will not find here the artifice, pretense or not authenticity. Dancer struggling with each other in a turbulent, even frenzied movements. Rushes, fights, casts - in the end is in Petach. What? It is worth to find out for yourself. In the final scene reveals a beautifully minimalist costume sculpted body of a young, well-promising choreographer. Paul Malicki - pure emotion and beauty.

"Summer - Red Sun". I guess most of us like this time of year. Hot sun. Fresh fruit. Sharpened the human senses. Energy ready to reap. The show was accompanied by voluptuous music, the presentation took away the senses. In the background, a red glow emanating from the huge wheel - the sun. The play is a story in which time we can find the joy, at other times mixed with the danger of unrest. To the extent that I felt that I saw an act of rape. In one scene a dancer could not get out of the embrace, but rather traps three dancers. In Summer - Red Sun "is presented to freedom, but slavery, disappointment, and also hope, despair, but faith.

Night with PTT is the night full of emotions. An important element of which consisted of the whole arrangement was the original "additives". Young girls - the dancers were dancing on the corridors between the rooms, arousing curiosity of viewers who were passing them. Going further into the depths, you could encounter other dancers for foil curtains. They engaged in specific dances, and much more: you could approach and synchronize the movements of dancers from your own. One of the drawbacks was the extension of certain performances, which resulted in an automatic late on another. As a result of their inability to see. Although the elimination of defects in accordance with the principle advantages of sin can be forgiven a small disruption.
