Odyssey Theatre Ensemble presents a limited two-performance engagement of Norwid’s Return (Powrót Norwida), a dynamic collision of words and sounds between an actor and a pianist exploring the raw genius of Cyprian Kamil Norwid, one of Poland’s greatest writers of the 19th century. Starring Polish-American actor Marek Probosz, who also directs, the monodrama was the recipient of the “Best New York Premiere” award at New York’s 2022 United Solo Festival.

A keen thinker and fervent moralist, Norwid’s work only gained world recognition long after his death. Classical music of the great composers — Mozart, Chopin, Satie, Szymanowski – illuminate the Norwidean darkness and the complexity of his mind.

Norwid’s Return Is performed in Polish with English supertitles.
