On August 1, at 8:00 PM, the Institute of National Remembrance will present the musical Kolumbowie Wszech Czasów (Columbuses of All Time) in the Church of St. Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr on Wolska Street, Warsaw. This performance is free to attend.
A Tribute to Artistic Resilience
Kolumbowie Wszech Czasów explores the Warsaw Uprising from the perspective of the artists involved. Amid the struggle for freedom, these creators channeled their energies into art, using it as their weapon. The Uprising saw a surge in artistic output, including poetry, songs, theatrical performances, and radio broadcasts. Over 150 publications, numerous posters, stamps, and thousands of drawings and photographs were produced.
Featured Artists and Performers
The musical will highlight the contributions of notable figures such as Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński, Tadeusz Gajcy, and Jan Brzechwa. A large youth ensemble from summer music workshops in Tarczyn will perform, guided by Agata Klimczak-Kołakowska’s direction and Grzegorz Bukowski’s music.
