Untitled - Warszawa jest trendy
September does not have to be associated with going back to school exclusively. Take part in Warszawa jest trendy and see for yourself, that in the capital city, the end of summer holidays does not mean the end of relaxing! Soon, on the first weekend of September, the capital city of Warsaw invites for events organized all over the city. This year, you can take part in, i.a., an open-air game at the ZOO, visit various places, nooks and crannies of the city known from history and films, or watch films and theatre plays prepared specially for this event. Holiday atmosphere will be emphasized by concerts within Super Warsaw! and Children’s Warsaw. And if – after holiday fun and tasty treats – you feel like doing some exercise, make sure to take part in sporting events we have prepared. Warszawa jest trendy is also another good occasion for spending time by the Vistula – eat breakfast in the open air by the river, and – in the evening – listen to concerts at clubs and cafes located along the river bank. We encourage you to read the programme and make your summer holidays longer by at least one weekend!

Most of all, there will be jazz interpretations presented, but there will also be quasi-classical and broadly understood World Music-inspired renditions played. Among the performers, there are young but already artistically mature artists who play the composer’s classical pieces, as well as representatives of Polish jazz scene, long-renowned in Poland and abroad. Each of them explores Chopin’s music in a diversified way, giving the listener a chance to appraise different approaches to a given musical material.

Concert: SUPER WARSAW! Koncert: Super Warszawa! / / Free admission 2:30 pm / castle sq. by King Zygmunt III Waza Column Before the concerts, we invite you to a dance performance which will take viewers on a journey guided by Fryderyk Chopin’s music. The spectacle will be based on elements of contemporary dance, improvisations and work with a partner, in relation with classical compositions by Fryderyk Chopin. The dynamics and narrative of Chopin’s music will become the starting point for the creation of a choreography based on structures of duets, trios or group sequences. Choreography and composition: Karolina Kroczak Music arranged and performed by Julia Singalewicz-Sobczak Dancers: Talya Balikcioglu, Katarzyna Burzyńska, Krysia Dębicka, Tomasz Domański, Natalia Górska, Paulina Jędrzejczak, Katarzyna Pawlak, Agnieszka Penczonek, Agata Rutkowska, Anna Sajecka, Agnieszka Sterczyńska, Paulina Tomaszewska, Wojciech Stępień We invite you to an extraordinary concert: Super Warsaw! On the main stage in Defilad Square, stars of Polish and world music scene will perform. James Arthur James Arthur is a British vocalist who rose to fame thanks to his debut single titled Impossible. The piece became and international hit, topping music charts in 34 countries all over the world. The artist’s popularity means that tickets for his concerts sell like hot cakes. This year, James Arthur began a world concert tour, one of the stops during which will be Warsaw. Natalia Nykiel Over the course of the last year, Natalia has become an unquestioned musical icon on the Internet. Still before 17 18 W a r szawa j e st t r e ndy main programme W a r szawa j e st t r e ndy main programme the release of her debut album, journalists dubbed her the most intriguing and awaited debut of 2014. Overall, her music videos have been watched almost 40 million times. One of them, Bądź duży, got to the second place on the list of most frequently watched Polish music videos, and was sixth on the list of most viewed music videos from the world over in Poland in 2015! Her career started in a TV show titled From Kindergarten to Opole (Od przedszkola do Opola) and developed smoothly, to the rhythm of numerous festivals, song reviews and TV shows. Among other achievements at a very young age, Natalia won Chance for Success (Szansa na sukces), where she took part in an episode dedicated to the oeuvre of the queen of Polish song, Maryla Rodowicz. Her album Lupus Electro was nominated for a number of music awards, many of which the artist in fact won. In 2012, the artist’s serious solo career began. She debuted with a single titled Jane, with music and lyrics by Marek Kościkiewicz. It was followed by a song titled Wszystkiego na raz, which was the effect of Natalia’s collaboration with rap musician Liber – the song entered music charts of such radio stations as RMF FM and Radio Zet. The world of Lupus Electro is a blend of mathematically finished electronic sounds with the unpredictability of primordial instincts, contained in the lyrics. The starting point for the creation of the album’s concept was a computer error. An error which emerges from millions of connections of electronic entities, in order to present itself on a screen and change the run of events irreversibly – stop the precise mechanism and open the door to parallel universes. Shyly, the artist invites the listener to go on this dangerous journey, where nothing is sure and the direction of sightseeing is outlined by running wolves. At the end of February this year, the artist released a single titled Mirrors, topping music charts of the biggest radio stations. The song became the most played Polish piece and was selected by listeners to compete for a Grand Prix in Opole, as one of 53 songs of the last 25 years. In the autumn, Natalia’s solo album drops, long-awaited by fans. Grzegorz Hyży Grzegorz Hyży began his adventure with singing... by chance, at a jam session in one of the clubs in Poznań. Since then, he has followed a clearly defined path, where accidents are not an option any more. The breakthrough came for the artist with his participation in the third edition of The X-Factor, where he ended up taking the second place. Can a career started with popularity gained thanks to a TV show actually happen? The album titled Z całych sił proves that Hyży did know how to make use of the chance he was given. A perfect sense of rhythm, disturbingly hypnotizing vocals and, first of all, a clear idea for his own creative activity – all this makes Grzegorz Hyży’s debut album one that many more experienced artists would not be ashamed of. At the moment, Grzegorz is working on a new LP, to premiere at the beginning of November 2016. And during the summer holidays you’ll listen to a totally new piece, titled Pod Wiatr. Natalia Szroeder The most talented and most sought-after Polish singer of the young generation is only 21. However, she has accustomed herself with stages since the age of 4. 4.09 noon – 7:00 pm Defilad Sq.

And we live longer and longer. Having analysed data, some demographers, led by James Vaupel, estimate that life expectancy will continue to rise by almost 2.5 years every decade. However, will the price of being able to blow more and more birthday cake candles not be too high? Where does the limit of prolonging the human life lie? Or maybe we will be helped by technology, thanks to which we will obtain immortality in a digital form? This year, Przemiany Festival encourages you to reflect on the immortality enticement. 2.09 8:00 pm – 9:15 pm 28 Siekierkowska St. Open-air performance: Wyjowisko Spektakl plenerowy Wyjowisko / Free admission www.dorozkarnia.pl Dorożkarnia – within its regular collaboration with Pijana Sypialnia – will present to Varsovians one of the theatre’s most acclaimed spectacles, titled Wyjowisko.

Exhibition: Immortality Enticement 2–4.09 / noon – 11:00 pm The exhibition seeks to understand the phenomenon of longevity, as well as myths and dreams grounded in our nature, related with immortality.

Pijana Sypialnia was created in collaboration with Dorożkarnia. Five enthusiasts founded a theatre of their dreams there. Today, this now-independent group is made of more than 80 artists.

She passed away that same year, but before her death, a sample of her cancer cells was taken for examination. The way the biopsied cells acted was far from regular. It turned out they reproduced at an unprecedented rate and didn’t die – meaning that they were basically immortal. This is how one of the most momentous episodes in the history of science began, and HeLa cells (named after the donor) became one of the most important tools of contemporary biomedicine. Thanks to them, the polio vaccine was created, and some groundbreaking discoveries were made in the field of tumour aetiology. They also played an important role in the process of mapping of the human genome, and in research on IVF and cloning. 3.09 noon – 1:00 pm 20 Kołowa St. Rampa Theatre / * Free admission with invitations www.teatr-rampa.pl r e s e r vat i ons : E-mail: bow@ teatr-rampa.pl r e g i st r at i on : E-mail: bilety@ teatrkamienica.pl 3–4.09 16 Różana St. Teatr Rampa, known for its many wonderful musical spectacles for children and teenagers, is preparing a new musical for children, titled Children’s Day.

Kamienica has three stages and beautiful restaurant rooms. When visiting, you definitely should go and see a miniature of old-time Warsaw, presenting the strict centre of the city from August 1939.

Children will learn how to express emotions 71 72 W a r szawa j e st t r e ndy C L U B S and RE S T A U R A N T S and intentions via movement, gesture, facial expressions and posture.

The goal of the workshops is not only to develop acting skills. Pantomime theatre, in which imagination and creativity play an extremely important role, boosts creative thinking, encourages to explore one’s own ideas and take up challenges.
