What is our position in the face of abuse and division? Can we change anything? Can I? Neutrality is not an answer and the confusion seems overwhelming. Do I still belong here?
'Polish Vermin' explores our attitudes to the Brexit vote and what comes next for us all. It’s a piece being developed in Cornwall, a county that voted leave and Bristol, a city that voted remain.
Instigated and devised by three Polish artists: Agnieszka Blonska (theatre director, performer), Patrycja Kujawska (actress/musician) and Michal Iwanowski (photographer) who have made the UK their home. R&D sharings of 'Polish Vermin' were presented in July 2017 at Bristol Ferment at the Arnolfini and the Newlyn Gallery & Exchange and in June 2018 at Teatr Powszechny in Warsaw, Poland during Happy City/Atlas of Transitions festival .
'Polish Vermin' was developed with support from FEAST with Arts Council England and Cornwall County Council, Arts Council England, Bristol Old Vic Ferment, Arnolfini Gallery, Newlyn Art Gallery, Kneehigh, Hall For Cornwall and Teatr Powszechny
