About the event

The musical 1989 became a runaway hit in Poland when it premiered in 2022. Inspired by Hamilton, the Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre and the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre in Kraków revisited Poland’s Solidarity movement through a mixture of hip-hop, rap, and pop. The Segal will screen a filmed-for-TV version of the production and host a panel discussion with Agata Grenda (Director of the Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre), Mirosław Wlekły (co-librettist), and others. Placing the events of 1989 in conversation with contemporary U.S. politics, the panel discussion will be followed by an Election Watch Party. 


Supported by the Polish Cultural Institute New York.
