Play based on the book by Roksana Jędrzejewska-Wróbel, a Gdańsk author of excellent children’s stories.

The play is a humorous story about respect for otherness, individualism and a non-standard attitude to life. The characters are residents of the house Under the Pig’s Snout, where suddenly a new pig moves in, the individualistic Klara Kwik with her unlimited imagination and untamed creativity. This leads to a whole range of misunderstandings and conflicts, with a disturbing secret from the past looming in the background. To make matters worse, at the end, the ghosts of the residents’ ancestors appear…

The adaptation, prepared by Roksana Jędrzejewska-Wróbel and Małgorzata Sikorska-Miszczuk (one of the best Polish playwrights, winner of last year’s Gdynia Drama Award), refers to the history of Gdańsk, while emphasising the roots of fears which can form the basis for the frequently hostile attitude towards otherness and the anxiety it evokes. At the same time, the authors talk about how much tact, empathy and small compromise is involved in the creation of good neighbourly relations.
