“Paczocha’s text is not only the successful attempt of fighting with difficult reality, but it is also a proof of author’s excellent technical skills in building the course of events, dialogues and theatrical metaphor” Gazeta Wyborcza – Trojmiasto
Enter into 13 year-old Misza's world where elephants are gods and chocolate reigns supreme. Join him and his sisters as they tackle the broken family left them by their emigrant mother. Experience the effects of separation, distance and the imagination of a boy living in his own world on a small family unit and we watch as the lines of communication between them fall further apart in this heart-warming, surreal drama.
Scent of Chocolate is written by award winning contemporary playwright Radoslaw Paczocha and has been adapted for both stage and radio, however this is the first time it will be performed on stage. This translation and adaptation by Dublin based Polish director Anna Wolf in her début play for Polish Theatre Ireland is a unique theatrical experience that will transport audiences into an abstract world and a new mode of theatre.
Polish Theatre Ireland was formed in 2008 as a response to the growing number of Polish actors based in Dublin and the need for a platform to showcase Polish dramatic culture. This is their first play to be produced and shown in Ireland and is the beginning of what will be an interesting journey for Polish theatre in Ireland.
