      DANCE SHOW
      Possessed by Dance
      26 November 2003

      Opentaniec (Possessed) is Poland's first authentic dance show. Based on Slavic
      legends and inspired by Polish culture, it is a modern vision of tradition,
      treated with the energy characteristic of an entertainment show for large
      audiences.

      Opentaniec was the idea of the Rev. Robert D. Gamble of the United States, who
      now resides in Poznań and is a fan of Poland and its traditions. The shape of
      the show is patterned after the Irish Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, while
      the dance, stage design, and the music itself tell a story based on the Slavic
      legend of the Flower in Fern.

      The action takes place on the shortest night of the year, during which the fern
      blooms. The courageous man that finds it can have anything he fancies, on one
      condition: he cannot share his joy. Jan encounters the cruel flower, and gives
      up true love to pursue an illusion. Opentaniec is a story of the struggle
      between good and evil, love and betrayal, with a straightforward, happy ending.
      It is a picturesque show-there are special effects, and the stage resembles
      Star Wars rather than the traditional Slavic world.

      "Opentaniec is a Polish-American production. Thanks to Robert Gamble, to whom
      we owe inspiration and financial aid, and a group of young Poles, a spectacle
      could be created which I hope is the beginning of a new quality on the Polish
      stage," says production manager Sebastian Mikołajczyk. Forty dancers had been
      selected from over 800 candidates. The core of the ensemble are young people
      for whom Opentaniec is their first encounter with the "big time."

      There are ballet dancers, acrobats, modern dancers and amateurs. Choreographer
      and director Jarek Staniek wanted to create a new form of traditional
      storytelling. "I think that the formula of the show, about the continuous
      struggle between opposite powers, will permit an original form of dance based
      on various dance techniques-from classical to modern, from capoiera to
      breakdancing," says Staniek, who began his career as a breakdancer. The music
      to Opentaniec is the work of Adam Sztaba and Tomek Filipczak. Sztaba says it
      was quite a challenge: the music is a combination of folk rhythms and
      contemporary music, which meant treading a fine line for the composer.

      The costumes were designed by Dagmara Czarnecka and Wojciech Czapla, who
      approached the task boldly. The clothes are a mixture of Slavic simplicity,
      traditional inspirations and pop culture. All taking place on an unusual set
      design by architect Mark Boretti, a Pole who has staged shows all over the
      world.

      Opentaniec's production cost over zl.2 million, which for Poland is an
      impressive figure. After the premiere, held Dec. 18 at Gdynia's Musical
      Theater, Opentaniec evoked great interest. Both fans and critics agree on one
      thing: Opentaniec is the first major domestic production to draw on Polish
      traditions and, at the same time, to be entertaining.
