"King Matt the First" - a story about a child's soul. The play is based on the story of the same name by Janusz Korczak. This is a story for children, teenagers, young adults and adults. Or rather, to everyone who was once a child. Janusz Korczak was a doctor, teacher, writer and a person who dedicated his life to children. He didn't just watch them - he talked to them as equals, trusted them, gave them the opportunity to make their own decisions and be responsible for them. And that's why "King Matt the First" is much more than a tale of a boy who became king. Matt wants to change the world. He wants the children to feel good, to be heard, to be counted on. He tries to do everything right - and gradually discovers that the world of adults is much more complicated than it seems. And this is where the fun begins. This book does not provide ready answers. She asks the questions: What does it mean to be an adult? What does it mean to be free? Is it possible to please everyone? What is justice? Why do good intentions sometimes lead to bad consequences? Does the child have the right to decide? Does an adult always know best? Korczak isn't afraid to leave his character alone with these questions. Our show talks about growing up, but doesn't teach you how to grow up properly. It invites you to think!
