The Stage Songs Review (Przeglad Piosenki Aktorskiej)

The Stage Songs Review (Przeglad Piosenki Aktorskiej) is one of the Poland’s oldest and most significant festivals, with a history of over 40 years now. It has always had a very distinctive mark of a high-class artistic event, exploring the best trends in music and theatre. This is probably the only festival in the world dedicated entirely to the art of song in the theatre. We just love to watch how music and word contribute to each other, not only in musical or variety shows but also – perhaps most of all – in drama theatre.

The form of the festival has expanded in the recent years, becoming an increasingly
international event. Since 1976, each year we host many recognized theatre and song artists from Poland and abroad. The artists have just one thing in common: a charisma in performing songs.

We have presented, among many others: Laurie Anderson, Marianne Faithfull, Nick Cave, Patricia Kaas, The Tiger Lillies, Antony and the Johnsons, Gogol Bordello, Amanda Palmer, The Magnets, Brendan Perry, Lisa Gerrard as well as the legendary Berliner Ensemble with "The Threepenny Opera" directed by Robert Wilson, Volksbuehne's "Die Fruchtfliege" by Christoph Marthaler or Vladimir Pankov's "The War" (Chekhov International Theatre Festival / Edinburgh International Festival / SounDrama Studio).
