FESTEN Closes at St. Ann's Warehouse Tonight, 4/29
For its final international theater production at 38 Water, St. Ann's Warehouse will present the U.S. premiere of TR Warszawa's Festen (The Celebration), one of the most acclaimed works by perhaps Poland's foremost company. Festen is a stage adaptation of The Celebration, the beloved prize-winning Danish Dogma 95 film (1998) by Thomas Vinterberg and Mogens Rukov, about the 60th birthday party of a family patriarch, at which a dark family secret is revealed. Written for the stage by Vinterberg and translated into Polish by the director, TR Artistic Director Grzegorz Jarzyna, Festen exposes the depths of a family dynamic passed on from generation to generation, a rich metaphor for the slow, inexorable workings of power, history, guilt and responsibility.
