The beautiful mountain landscape grows out of the bodies of dancers, rocks, shrubs, the harshness of nature and its power, all intertwined, highlighting the strong bonds between nature and man. These are aspects of the latest film project of the Polish Dance Theatre. The project was inspired by Stanisław Szukalski’s sculptures. In the works of this artist, which evokes strong emotions, there is a motif of the human body; muscle tension, movement, gesture and expression can be seen. The Toporzeł project could not have been created anywhere but in the quartz mine “Stanisław” in Szklarska Poręba. The Giant Mountains and Jizera Mountains on the Polish side hold secrets, a place where magic mingles with reality, where the history of the legendary Mountain Spirit still lives.
