The Royal Łazienki Museum in Warsaw cordially invites the public to an open-air theater rendition of Stanisław Wyspiański’s “November Night” on April 13, 2024. Directed by Leszek Zdun, this immersive performance will unfold amidst the enchanting backdrop of the Royal Baths Park.

“November Night” is a testament to Wyspiański’s brief yet impactful visit to the Royal Baths Park, where the artistic treasures evoking antiquity ignited his creative spark, resulting in this profoundly original work. Set predominantly within the park’s lush grounds, the drama reflects upon the historical significance of the Officer Cadet School, a pivotal institution for the young military figures who instigated the 1830 independence uprising depicted by Wyspiański.

Marking the 115th anniversary of the writer’s passing, “November Night” will come to life in the historic gardens, seamlessly blending with the autumnal ambiance. The organizers highlight the significance of the Łazienki gardens as the ideal backdrop for fully experiencing the richness of Wyspiański’s masterpiece, where the interplay between ancient and divine realms with the earthly landscape resonates most profoundly.

The staging concept revolves around faithfully recreating the scenes described by the author, allowing the audience to traverse the Royal Baths Park gardens and witness the drama unfold in sequence. The performance will be enhanced by captivating light and sound effects, further immersing spectators in the narrative’s evocative atmosphere.
