Fresh and great food, refreshing drinks, absolutely wonderful atmosphere and music. A delight to be there!!!
Would've loved it if they mentioned on the website that the museum is closed this weekend due to technical difficulties, just to save a trip...
the permanent exhibition in the former power plant present the ideas and art work of Tadeusz Kantor, High Reco!
Niezwykle ważne miejsce dla awangardy teatru i kultury, ciekawy budynek architektonicznie przygniatający i jednocześnie wybijający się, polecam
Tadeusz Kantor (1915–90) – one of the most important theatrical artists and reformers of the 20th century – chose Kraków as the place both to work and live in. Although the premieres of the legendary Cricot 2 Theatre were held in various European cities and the productions travelled the whole world, their director always returned to the city in the shadow of Wawel. Conscious of the significance of his artistic legacy, he set up “a living archive” here: the Cricoteka. After the death of the artist, the operations of the Cricot 2 might have been suspended, yet the Cricoteka continues to organise exhibitions, symposia, performances, workshops, and meetings, at the same time publishing materials devoted to Kantor’s art. Its home is the former power plant of Podgórze “wrapped” in a modern construction. The exhibition halls are suspended over the roof of the historical building, and the café situated on the top floor commands a panorama of the city, extending over the other side of the Vistula. One by one, the mutations of the permanent exhibition present the crucial ideas in the art of Tadeusz Kantor. Objects used in the theatre, props, sketches, photographs from the Cricoteka collection, and videos and recordings of productions accompanying them portray the successive stages in the development of his theatre.
If you are a theatre lover then you must see. Incredible images, amazing talent... I wish I could have seen one of these performance's.
