A giant with the face of a child, it is both a mesmerizing lover, a sage heralding disaster and a caring mother, looking at and through man. It is an eternal companion, giving hope and incinerating enthusiasm.

The New Sun is the first work and matron of Nowy Teatr's Solarium series, in which visual artists present works whose light can warm the audience. The program is a response to the mental winter – darkness of the mind, frozen horizons and icy feelings.

Curator: Michał Grzegorzek
