Stowarzyszenie Kulturalno-Edukacyjne Przestrzeń

Unlike the structured German group, the Polish participants were selected during a special workshop conducted by Olek Witt in Zbąszyń, which gave the young people an opportunity to learn about the project and its work methods, as well as discovering their own possibilities. Ultimately, the project features a group of young people from the Wielkopolska Region which includes students of local secondary schools and a group from the Special Boarding School in Zbąszyń, an establishment for disabled youths. An extremely interesting character among the latter group is Tomek Molenda, a young bagpiper from Zbąszyń who performs live during the performance. The Polish group consists of young people aged from fourteen to twenty years who display various degrees of theatrical experience and skills.
