The musical Metro celebrates its 35th anniversary
Katarzyna Jackowska
Netto Arena, ul. Władysława Szafera 3/5/7
The legendary musical Metro stands as the flagship production of the Buffo Studio’s repertoire.
On stage, audiences witness passion and devotion, music and dance on a scale unlike anything previously seen in Polish theatre. It’s a world of love, madness and youth, where the boundaries between theatre and reality begin to blur. The story spills beyond the foyer, and time itself becomes a pure function of the imagination.
Metro unfolds somewhere between fiction and reality. Street musicians, singers and dancers perform a makeshift play for commuters on underground platforms. Its creator and driving force is Jan, for whom the metro is both a home and a way of life. The performance becomes an overnight sensation, and the young artists are soon offered contracts at a commercial theatre.
This is a story of dreams and disillusionment, of passion and betrayal, of youthful ideals tested by the lure of money and, above all, a timeless tale of romantic love.
