A multi-genre play based on Szczepan Twardoch's novel about a torn man entangled in major historical events PREMIERE September 11, 2025
"I am me, and my world is no more. In this world, I am not me."
Konstantin Willemann is a thirty-year-old Varsovian in October 1939. He is a bon vivant who enjoys fine wines, fast cars, and his mother's money. Konstantin loves his Polish wife and son above all else. But Kosťa also loves morphine in his veins and the body of Salome, a Jewish prostitute, beneath him.
The Black Angel whispers words in his ear that are even more intoxicating and destructive than a syringe filled with liquid happiness.
Konstantin longs for the certainties of what once seemed to be a stable order of things. However, this clashes with the reality of the first weeks of World War II and the occupation of his beloved city, which has been raped by Wehrmacht troops. The descendant of a German aristocrat and a Polonized Silesian woman fights for Poland in a Nazi uniform; but Kostík is not really Polish, German, a resistance fighter, or a traitor.
So who is Konstantin Willemann, Kostya, Bones? Someone, no one.
He is in the world for no other reason than to live. His existence serves only his existence.
This ambiguous individual is also reflected in today's social challenges and dilemmas, which disrupt the existing order of things and demand clear answers to questions about our identities and attitudes.
On closer inspection, the blurred figure of Bones can also be seen as a person torn by the frenzy of the 21st century.
