Agata Duda-Grac

(1974, Katowice, Poland) Director and scenographer Agata Duda-Gracz is one of the most important contemporary theatre directors in Poland. She also writes the texts for her plays and creates splendid, surprisingly picturesque scenography and costumes. According to theatre critic Tadeusz Nyczek, “sometimes it seems as though she is not even directing, but rather simply painting canvas – contrary to most of the contemporary directors – about where we are, what we are, where we come from and what awaits us.”
