The vocal and poetic piece Katie’s Tales – shown in nine countries across four continents – is coming to the United Solo Festival. Performed by Agnieszka Kazimierska, this one-act interlaces song, poetry, evocative physicality, and striking stage imagery to create the dream traces of one woman's encounter with love, war, ancestral memory, and a future still-to-come. Originally created at Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards / Fondazione Teatro della Toscana. Katie's life unfolds during savage times, times of waiting and becoming. Her beloved left after a recent catastrophe, with a promise to return. Together with a couple of foreign servants, she lives protected in her garde under the shade of her cherry trees - silent witnesses of her life and history. How long can she wait? Will she learn how to love again despite the excruciating pain of loss? Can she find comfort in the traditional idea of God or will he turn out to be a silent observer just like the cherry trees?
