About the poster : Idiota i Inni "The Idiot and Others" is a renowned Polish play inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky's classic novel *The Idiot*. Adapted for the stage, the play explores the complex psychology of its characters, delving into themes of innocence, morality, and human frailty. Through the protagonist, Prince Myshkin—often regarded as a "holy fool"—the play reflects on the tensions between idealism and societal corruption. The adaptation captures the intense emotional and philosophical struggles within Dostoevsky's story, using powerful dialogue and a minimalist set design to draw attention to the internal conflicts of each character, making it a memorable piece of Polish theater.
