FIFTY-FIFTY

The performance was created within the framework of the ACTORS’ INITIATIVES STAGE. Among other things, the Bunkier Stage is a place for the presentation of performances whose initiators are the actresses and actors of our theatre. Following the idea of “theatre of many voices, many views”, the Actors’ Initiatives give our artists the opportunity to present their own point of view on the world together with art and to give individual expression to the works of their choice.

A night full of questions and doubts. Karol is exhausted from caring for his ailing mother and dreams of a long journey. His brother Jan is waiting for an inheritance that will free him from financial problems. As long as their mother is alive, the realisation of both brothers’ life plans and dreams is in question.

“Fifty-Fifty” is a drama in comedy guise, a black comedy about the power of desire, brotherly bonding and life’s troubles. The complicated story of the relationship between the brothers and their mother is told here in a funny yet thought-provoking way.

How will the night end?

“Excellent entertainment is provided by a simple, yet brilliantly played intrigue, brilliant dialogue and vivid acting. Half a Half performed by actors from the Kochanowski Theatre in Opole is a superbly acted story full of surprising twists and turns, spiced with black humour about humanity, human decency and brotherhood or the lack of it…”

“The production at the Jan Kochanowski Theatre in Opole is not only a drama with comedic elements and unexpected events, but also a multi-level play of siblings who cynically bang on each other’s weaknesses like a drum.”

Monika Morusiewicz, Dziennik Teatralny Opole

„Pół na pół w wykonaniu aktorów Teatru im. Kochanowskiego w Opolu to świetnie zagrana, pełna zaskakujących zwrotów akcji i doprawiona czarnym humorem opowieść o człowieczeństwie, ludzkiej przyzwoitości i braterstwie lub jego braku…”

Magdalena Mikrut-Majeranek, teatrologia.info

„Spektakl w opolskim Teatrze im. Jana Kochanowskiego to nie tylko dramat z elementami komediowymi i niespodziewanymi wydarzeniami, ale także wielopoziomowa gra rodzeństwa, które cynicznie uderza we wzajemne słabości jak w bęben”.

Monika Morusiewicz, Dziennik Teatralny Opole
