“Dream about the City” is a captivating, emotional story about Lublin, an extraordinary place, teeming with life for centuries at the crossroads of cultures, religions, and nations. Inspired by Józef Czechowicz’s timeless “Poem on the City of Lublin,” the performance takes viewers on a journey over the centuries to the present day.
Ticket required for all audience members over 6 years of age
Lublin’s turbulent history is told by circus performers and acrobats suspended above the audience, balancing on tightropes, and aerial dancing. The whole experience is complemented by Jarosław Koziara’s monumental set design, Rafał Rozmus’s original music, and the voices that will carry this story: Zbigniew Dziduch reading the historical narrative, and Dorota Landowska presenting excerpts from Józef Czechowicz’s poetry.

Today, “Dream about the City” is a tribute to Lublin, a city that, despite facing the most difficult trials, has never lost its courage, and openness. The city has transformed its borderland status into a safe space for encounter and it draws inspiration from its multicultural tradition to build the future. It is an artistic manifesto of Lublin’s winning ECoC 2029 concept, RE:UNION – a story of reunion, overcoming divisions, dialogue, and rebuilding community.
Join the event, invite your loved ones, and let’s experience this dream together!
