T.E.O.R.E.M.A.T.

T.E.O.R.E.M.A.T. is the latest creation from multi-award winning Polish director Grzegorz Jarzyna. Set to a powerful soundtrack and performed in near wordless scenes, Jarzyna’s production is an exquisite filmic voyage into the heart of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s modern parable.

Inspired by Pasolini’s 1968 cult film, Theorem, this evocative theatre adaptation is the compelling story of an upper-middle class family in turmoil. At the centre of the family upheaval is a mysterious visitor who instigates a cataclysmic sequence of events when he systematically seduces each member of the household. The family is left to pick up the pieces, and must each discover whether his intervention has been a catalyst for divine, or disastrous, transformation.

The complex tale is executed beautifully in the hands of its groundbreaking director, who has been revolutionising theatre since taking on the role of TR Warszawa’s artistic director in 1998. Following outstanding performances in Edinburgh and New York, TR Warszawa has been described as one of Europe’s “most consistently astonishing theatre groups”.

Pasolini’s Theorem was just one of 25 critically acclaimed films the accomplished artist created before his murder in 1975. T.E.O.R.E.M.A.T. is a hypnotically beautiful exploration of the social, political and religious ideologies which made Pasolini one of the revolutionary thinkers of our time.
