The first performance, “Sherlock Holmes,” for lower-secondary school students, was a crime mystery solved by the famous detective. The story served as a pretext for portraying the difficult relationship between father and son. The performance showed that family is the greatest value in life.
“Andersen’s World” was aimed at a younger audience—preschoolers and students in grades 1–3 of primary school. It consisted of three separate fairy tales by the same author, each story presented using a different acting technique and on a different set. Each character in the first fairy tale formed a distinctive element of theatre of form, combining pantomime with the characters’ distinctive traits, which effectively portrayed the caricature of human behaviour that is an inseparable element of Andersen’s protagonists. The next fairy tale entered the world of mask theatre, while the final one was the quintessence of puppet theatre.
In the final performance—“Ethical Selection”—lower- and upper-secondary school students learned about recruitment methods for senior positions in large companies and corporations. The performance’s script was based on genuine selection and recruitment methods used worldwide, in which the best candidates are chosen through special tests, appropriately selected tasks and sophisticated manipulation. These are people who later sacrifice everything for their work—their own ambitions, private lives and even their families.
In the performances by Wrocław’s In-Art Theatre, the actors convey educational and formative values to the audience, but above all they provide everyone with excellent entertainment.
