ABOUT THE PLAY:

FATAMORGANA is an oneiric tale for adults, spoken in the language of children. Shadow puppetry and object theatre performance, visual art experiment, analog projection. Using flashlights, prisms, recycled objects, paper marionettes, and performers’ bodies, the piece mirrors the mirage—ephemeral visions hovering between reality and imagination. Conjuring a silent, hypnotic narrative about creation, destruction, and fragile beauty of life, it takes the spectators on a journey through the birth and unraveling of worlds, from the fusion of first atoms to the fragmentation of modern existence and back.

ABOUT THE COMPANY:

Fatamorgana is an independent theatre collective, a group of Ukrainian and Polish itinerant artists, culture animators and managers. Our project, inspired by the need for beauty in theatre, began seven years ago in Poland. It is the result of long-standing friendship, years of creative collaboration, and a shared curiosity. We explore drama, puppetry, shadow puppets and visual art, object theatre and up-cycle theatre, producing exclusively original performances. Our work is rooted in the alternative and independent theatre traditions of Poland. We believe that theatre is a form of social commentary, and can be a catalyst for social transformation, sparking dialogue and connection. We create not to entertain only but to provoke thought, to offer moments of reflection, to inspire change, to inspire action.
