PORZEZINSKI / SPOTKANIA. SZTUKMISTRZ Z KRAKOWA. Rozmowa z Maciejem Sikorskim

There are conversations that leave you feeling moved. And there are those that leave you sitting in silence for a long time. Rafał Porzeziński's guest will be Maciej Sikorski—founder of the extraordinary Exit Theatre. A man who journeyed through drugs, darkness, and loneliness to now give people the hope he himself once desperately sought. This will be a story about the hell of addiction. About freedom that didn't come easily. About love stronger than despair. About how a person can die while still alive—and how they can be born again. We will talk about drugs, about the spiritual traps of modernity, about the pain that often begins long before the first shot or pill. But also about the hope that sometimes comes through another person. Ryszard Riedel will also be there. A legend. A symbol of freedom. A man of great talent and a great hunger for love. We will try to answer the question of why so many people who resorted to drugs were really seeking not a high, but relief. And finally—the Exit Theatre. One of the most extraordinary places on the map of Poland. A theatre created by blind people, people with cerebral palsy, autism, and those the world once tried to write off. And yet, it is precisely there that something sorely lacking in the modern world happens: truth, dignity, and love. And an event that, for many, seems downright impossible. On June 20th, the wedding of Asia—an actress and vocalist with cerebral palsy at the Exit Theatre—and Ryszard, a blind musician and actor, will take place. A story that, according to the logic of this world, should never have happened. And yet, it will happen. Because sometimes the greatest miracle isn't a spectacular recovery. The greatest miracle is when a rejected person finds love. That someone who has heard "you can't do it" all their life suddenly hears: "I won't leave you until death do us part." This wedding will be a testament to the fact that love doesn't ask about skill, success, or perfection. Love only asks about the heart. A film is also being created to commemorate this extraordinary story. If you want to be part of something truly beautiful, join the fundraiser and help tell the world a story that restores faith in humanity. This won't be a conversation about falling. This will be a conversation about how people can be lifted up. Even when they no longer believe in themselves. "Porzeziński. Encounters" A conversation you don't watch. You experience it.
