From the upside down eight we pour out an endless power of creativity and theatrical surprises. For the eighth time, for seekers of unique stage experiences and impro lovers, Artus Court is organizing the JO International Theater Improvisation Festival! During four evenings, the best Polish improvisers, theaters from all over Europe and artists from five continents will perform. Each evening includes two sets of performances separated by an intermission. The first set will be performances in Polish and silent - so that no language barrier will stop you from enjoying the theatrical experience. The second set is performances in English. Impro is an art of emotion and physicality, and the festival guests come from the four corners of the world and speak very accessibly, so even if you are afraid of the language barrier - give yourself a chance for pleasant surprises. # Programme ### Thursday 24 July - 18:30 Walentynowicz i Jego Brat + goście – Benefis (show in Polish) - 19:20 Ollie Rasini & Lad’a Karda (non-verbal) - 20:30 Chris Mead & Liam Webber – Battle Royale (show in English) - 21:15 Babel Show (multilingual show hosted in English) ### Friday 25 July - 18:30 One – Jedno zdanie (show in Polish) - 19:20 Strepitus!
