Two hundred years ago, the publication of “Ballads and Romances” by Adam Mickiewicz caused an outrage. One of the leading poets of Polish Romanticism, Mickiewicz was accused of immorality and perversion.

He wrote in the language of the underprivileged, granting them the right to embody their fantasies and desires. The texts, which are bursting with eroticism, sensuality and the intoxication of love, also proved to have an emancipatory function: they became a manifesto of a new sensibility that aims to remove class hierarchies and postulates a democracy of emotions. With his ballads, Mickiewicz introduced new, socially unacceptable images that took a severe swipe at bourgeois prudery. Can his texts provoke similar reactions today?

The Teatr 21 performers appropriate Mickiewicz’s texts, find their own voices in them and demand the right of people with disabilities to experience love and sexuality.

Warsaw’s Teatr 21 is one of the most renowned independent theatre companies in Poland. The core team consists of actors and performers who have Down’s syndrome or are on the autism spectrum.
