This autumn, the theatre opens a new home at Dawna Pralnia, 180 Krakowska Street in Wrocław, inviting audiences to the Season of Sources - a programme of acclaimed performances, new premieres and work-in-progress presentations.
Lear, Hamlet, Antigone and the characters of Aeschylus’ Oresteia become the starting points for four distinct theatrical experiences. Rather than presenting these classic works in their traditional forms, Song of the Goat Theatre approaches them as living sources of questions about relationships, memory, responsibility, law, conscience and truth - themes that continue to resonate across time.
Founded in Wrocław in 1996, Song of the Goat Theatre has gained international recognition as one of Europe’s most innovative experimental theatre companies. Its distinctive theatrical language grows out of intensive actor training, in which music, text, voice, body and imagination function as interconnected elements. Training, rehearsal and performance are treated as parts of a single creative process, with a strong relationship between performers and audiences at the heart of the company’s work.
SONGS OF LEAR | 17-18 October 2026
The Season of Sources begins with the opening of the theatre’s new Wrocław home and performances of the internationally acclaimed Songs of Lear. Rather than a linear adaptation of Shakespeare’s King Lear, the production explores the energy and tensions hidden within the story. Through music, polyphonic song and physical expression, it reveals a world of disintegrating relationships, loss and a man who comes to understand the consequences of his decisions only when it is too late.
HAMLET | 30-31 October 2026
In Hamlet, Shakespeare’s tragedy becomes a story not only of revenge, but also of trauma, pain and the weight of the past. The production encounters Hamlet as a man searching for truth in a reality shaped by loss, memory and disintegration, creating an intense theatrical experience rooted in the company’s distinctive combination of music, voice and movement.
AGON - WROCŁAW PREMIERE | 14-15 November 2026
Inspired by Sophocles’ Antigone, AGON transforms one of the fundamental conflicts of ancient tragedy into a powerful contemporary encounter. Antigone chooses conscience; Creon chooses law and the order of the state. Their confrontation takes the form of a rock concert, in which two opposing positions, two orders and two understandings of responsibility collide. Can either side truly win when both believe they are right?
THE FEAST - PREMIERE | 26-28 November 2026
The newest production by Song of the Goat Theatre, The Feast, draws inspiration from Aeschylus’ Oresteia and takes audiences into a space suspended between dream, ritual and shared experience. The ancient myth becomes a starting point for new images, perspectives and meanings, leaving room for individual associations and interpretations.
7 PARTS OF TRUTH
The Season of Sources is complemented by 7 Parts of Truth, a series of seven intimate work-in-progress presentations connected with the creation of The Feast. The project offers audiences a rare opportunity to step inside the creative process and witness a new production gradually taking shape.
Inspired by Aeschylus’ Oresteia, the series focuses on seven characters, each offering a different perspective on the events and revealing their own part of the truth. Each presentation lasts approximately 60 minutes, creating a space not only for observation but also for an encounter between the creative process and the audience.
7 Parts of Truth:
16, 19 and 26 October 2026
2, 9, 16 and 23 November 2026
The Season of Sources is both a celebration of Song of the Goat Theatre’s 30-year history and the beginning of its next chapter - a return to the sources of European culture, a new home in Wrocław and an invitation to encounter familiar stories from entirely new perspectives.
The project is co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. The public project is co-financed by the Municipality of Wrocław. We would like to thank Dawna Pralnia for supporting the project.
