Easter symbols in Polish tradition

Decorated Easter Eggs For Catholics, Easter in the most important religious event during the whole year. But not everybody remember, where some of the traditions came from. Here you will find explanation. Poles celebrate this event and on Easter Saturday morning we go to church with willow basket which should content eggs, bread, sausage, horseradish, salt and pepper.
“We consecrate the lamb, in remembrance of the true Lamb of Christ and His Triumph and we decorate the roast lamb in honour of this” – said Father Newerani in 1739

Transeuropa Festival 2012 - The countdown starts

May is approaching, and May is the month of Transeuropa Festival. While Europe will be subject to tensions and attempts at weakening its social and civil unity, the third edition of the Transeuropa Festival will take place, proposing new visions for the emergence of an alternative Europe.
Transeuropa Festival is a unique transnational festival of culture, arts and politics, taking place in 14 cities all over Europe from the 9th to the 20th May (Amsterdam, Barcelona, Belgrade, Berlin, Bologna, Bratislava, Cluj-Napoca, London, Lublin, Paris, Prague, Rome, Sofia, Warsaw), including an outreach event in Cardiff and with a closing forum in Rome on the 2nd and 3rd of June.
Transeuropa Festival aims at challenging the risks of a cultural crisis, a crisis in the imagination, where citizens are blocked in an oppressive, divided, exclusive present. Through its action, the Festival shows that alternative models are possible, both in the political and cultural realms.

Polish Macbeth in Shakespeare's Globe

Teatr im. Kochanowskiego presents Macbeth from Opole, Poland, Performed in Polish

Tuesday 8 May 2.30pm
Wednesday 9 May 7.30pm
Thursday 10 May 2.30pm

Transvestites, drug-addicts and demented track-suited gangsters will wander the corridors of Maja Kleczewska’s Dunsinane, in a glitzy Polish production of Macbeth, echoing the films of David Lynch and Pedro Almodovar.

The Kochanowski Theatre is situated in Opole, once home of the great theatrical visionary Jerzy Grotowski. Following Biuro Podrozy and The Song of the Goat at the National Theatre and Barbican respectively, Kleczewska’s pop culture interpretation will continue a growing tradition of Polish Macbeths in London.
