Captain’s log – 14 April 1912. It takes 37 seconds from spotting the iceberg to colliding with it. The largest liner of its time sinks in less than three hours.

Even before her first – and last – voyage, the Titanic had been deemed unsinkable. The famous ocean liner became a metaphor for the world of human desires and dreams of power, a Tower of Babel digested by pop culture.

In the Horzyca Theatre, this more than a hundred-year-old story will be given a new look composed of love stories and pastiche humour with the catastrophe in the background.

In Michał Siegoczyński’s production, the romance and inspiration of James Cameron’s cult film will be mixed with the tragic fate of the passengers and a commentary on social divisions.

The clock has just started ticking. The passengers boarding the Titanic on the stage of the Horzyca Theatre do not yet know how the voyage is going to end.

Premiere: 9.11.2024
