"(...) Jak cicho jest spotkać mima
jak dobrze że Pan nie mnoży słów
odbyła się taka piękna pantomima
wyjęta ze snów dzieciństwa (...)"
                                    Tadeusz Różewicz

   The theatre has existed since 1996 (former name the Contemporary Pantomime Theatre); was founded and managed by Józef Markocki with a group of professional actors. Having worked out its own artistic language the theatre draws inspiration from the Polish school of group mime, created by Henryk Tomaszewski, as well as Jerzy Grotowski. The Theatre has its own unique style and form. It uses different movement forms from classical mime to classical and modern dance to drama theatre. The group has produced several spectacles, which are staged in theatres in Poland and abroad.
   The theatre produced several spectacles: Alternations of Space, The Sacred Spot,The Mystery of Bread and Stone, Battle of Carnival and Lent, Homo Sensibilis, Babel, Only you, The Hunger...
