Zygmunt Hübner - Plays with Reality

Poland2017documentary64'Polska panorama (2017)

One of the most eminent Polish stage directors, an actor, unforgettable pedagogue and director of many theatres, Zygmunt Hübner was a part of the political context, but he was also able to formulate his autonomous voice in the dire reality of communist Poland. This documentary is also a tribute to the vision of theatre proposed by Hübner - a no-nonsense institution inviting the viewer to a conversation and devoted to the issues important for society. It was the “theatre that gets involved”.
