Daniel Jacewicz (director) and Mariusz Tarnozek (music director) from Theatr Brama of Goleniow Poland developed a performance with Free Street youth over the course of a five month residency.
A showing of their work, Had Enough will be presented at Free Street on Friday February 22 at 7 pm and Saturday February
23 at 2 pm. It is performed in English with Polish subtitles.

Had Enough: A theater is held captive by unnamed terrorists. Had Enough is the haunting memories of the hostages. It is set in a fictionalized Rome of ancient and modern times as the ravages of war know no boundary of country or time.
Director’s Background:
Teatr Brama (Theater Gate) is a 10-year-old company that works with youth in the city area of Goleniow and Szezecin Poland. Teatr Brama presents the local reality of the Polish farming/urban community and how the close borders to Germany have altered the local history. ( The area has been considered Polish, Russian, German during the last 80 years).
Teatr Brama works to animate the local environment working outdoors, or in barns instead of inviting people to a real theater. Each environmental performance takes up to a year to create.
Teatr Brama has taught and participated in international cooperation’s with Germany, USA and other theaters throughout Poland, introducing the youth to the working process of different theaters.
Teatr Brama defines “community” as a bunch of people actively working together. Tear Brama’s work begins with the participation of the group in silence and builds from there. Teatr Brama works to develop diversity, sensitivity, consciousness and esthetics that come from the whole group.
