27th Goleniów Theatre Meetings BRAMAT 2026
21–30.08.2026
Goleniów
Dear Spectators, Guests, Artists, Organizers, and Patrons of BRAMAT!
Dear Friends who co-created the previous editions, giving a piece of yourselves!
Brama has turned thirty. Behind us are stories that cannot be put on paper. At theatre workshops, trips, and festivals, we have met tens of thousands of people, played thousands of performances on six continents. We made mistakes, opened more gates, laughed, and cried. We regretted, celebrated, immersed ourselves in silence and frenetic fun. But every year we opened our gates for you.
We invited friends from Goleniów and all over the world. We created a ritual woven from performances, concerts, singing together, and sleepless nights. For three decades, Brama and the BRAMAT Festival have educated, trained, and developed audiences and artists from Goleniów, who are now achieving huge successes. The town has become part of the cultural, European community, and artistic events have gained depth, courage, and meaning year after year. Goleniów is associated well and widely in this area. We can be proud of this – and there are moments in life when we want to share this pride, blowing out a symbolic 30 candles.
This year we shyly look back. Creating the program, we sketched out further scenes that will tell about Brama better than we could do with words. We invite you to meet long-time friends, immerse yourself in musical and theatrical inspirations that have accompanied us for years, and look into our future.
Our search does not end. Another decade of changes awaits us. What is most important, however, remains the same from the beginning: our heart is the community, which every year creates the gift of BRAMAT for you with a smile.
Thank you, Residents, for caring about BRAMAT.
Thank you, Spectators, for being with us in such large numbers and opening your hearts.
Thank you, Artists, for giving what is most beautiful.
Thank you, Organizers, for your faith and superhuman work you put into this meeting.
Thank you, Patrons, for making our existence possible.
We invite you to the 27th Goleniów Theatre Meetings BRAMAT 2026 — a festival of meetings, memory, gratitude, and constantly opening new gates.

Dikanda (Szczecin, PL)
Dikanda’s music has accompanied Teatr Brama for over twenty years – during workshops, journeys, and important moments.

The fiery folk will sweep everyone onto the dance floor.

Teatr Brama (Goleniów, PL) – “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”
When night falls, young lovers enter the forest, seeking escape from an unwanted marriage. In the same forest, a group of craftsmen and amateur actors begins rehearsals for a play for the Duke’s upcoming wedding. The world of magic will thwart their plans.

16:00
Jan Peszek (Kraków, PL) – “Scenario for a non-existing but possible instrumental actor”
Jan Peszek presents a one-hour display of acting mastery. Bogusław Schaeffer’s phenomenal text balances between an avant-garde joke, an academic lecture, and a perverse story about an artist – sometimes a priest of art, sometimes a jester. We invite you to an unforgettable meeting with the outstanding actor and a joint celebration of his 80th birthday.

17:00
Teatr Przedmieście (Rzeszów, PL) – “Breath”
“Breath” is an intimate story about love, death, and suffering. The lives of the characters take place here on the border of wakefulness and sleep, reality and memory. It is a simple, touching story for a pair of actors, an old bed, a suitcase, a sheet, and a projector that is used to show family photographs and sometimes shoots like a German soldier’s rifle. It is funny, tragic, and quite ordinary, just like life.
18:00

Donald Kitt (Holstebro, DK) – “The Starry Messenger”
“The Starry Messenger” is a performance inspired by the figure of Galileo, who defended Copernicus’s theory that the Sun, not the Earth, is at the center of the universe. Donald Kitt translates the breakthrough discovery, which deprived man of his privileged place in the cosmos, into the language of theater full of humor and perverse reflection.
21:00
Il Posto / Wanda Moretti + Marco Castelli Small Ensemble (Venice, IT) – “RADAR”
Dancers suspended on ropes will transform the building wall into a vertical stage, defying gravity and crossing the boundaries of traditional movement. The spectacular choreography will allow you to look at the space from a completely different perspective, discovering what usually remains out of sight. “Radar” is a performance full of tension and emotion about finding a path in an unpredictable world.

BY Teatr (PL, BY) – “Refugees 1915”
“Bieżeńcy 1915” (Refugees 1915) is a moving performance about people who, fleeing from the war, left behind their homes, loved ones, and their entire previous lives. The story of forgotten Polish refugees intertwines here with the personal experiences of Belarusian artists who, years later, were themselves forced to leave their homeland.
19:00
Brama and friends “Elegantly”
Can Brama be elegant? 30 years of experience show us that probably not. But that doesn’t mean we can’t sometimes try. We will take you on a journey through the music that Brama has performed in the past, and later we will invite you for a glass of champagne.

Afti ki aftoi (Athens, GR) – “Vourkolakas”
“Vourkolakas” draws from the Greek folk song about Areti and her deceased brother Konstantis, who sets out on an extraordinary journey to keep a promise made to his mother. The ancient tale of forced departure and loss of home becomes a poignant commentary on the fate of modern migrants, refugees, and people forced to seek a future far from their homeland.
18:30
Grzegorz Dąbrowski (Wielka Lipa, PL) – “Music of Water”
“Music of Water” by Grzegorz Dąbrowski is a moody journey through ambient, ballad, and rock sounds, inspired by the calm, rhythm, and constant movement of water. The artist builds compositions live, layer by layer, creating a soothing and engaging musical story. It is a concert that allows you to slow down, rest from the daily hustle and bustle, and find something close to your own experiences in the sounds.
20:00
Pomarańcze w Uchu na Skarpie bez Kartki (Poznań, PL) – “Deceived”
Sometimes making a difficult choice and sacrificing what is most important to us is the only way out of a situation. These are never simple decisions, often made when we have no other option and are overwhelmed by a feeling of desperation. But is desperation bad if it forces us to act? “Deceived” is a clear, dynamic mixture of absurdity and everyday realism – it’s a story that will amuse, sadden, and surprise!

Trial of the Theatre*
Theatre stands trial, and with it questions about its meaning, condition, and place in the modern world. The prosecutor, defender, and witnesses with shocking testimonies will try to answer what theater is today, what it should become, and what kind of theater we really need. Let’s hear the arguments before the final verdict is reached.
19:00
Teatr Sztuka Nowa (Warszawa, PL) – “Doba”
“Doba” is a performative concert in which Aleksander Doba’s solitary expedition across the Atlantic intertwines with Odysseus’s wanderings and the actor’s transformation. Music and words guide the audience through storms, fogs, and the depths of imagination, creating a spectacle on the border of theater, concert, and dream.
20:00
NOISEBAND Family Band and Teatr Brama Band with guest appearances by Kabaret Kampus and the Podlotki Singing Group
Two bands will join forces to sweep you into a joint dance on the ramp. With the guest appearance of Kabaret Kampus and Zespół Śpiewaczy Podlotki, a colorful, energetic dance party full of live music and humor will be created. Bring comfortable shoes and good stamina!

Joshua Monten (Bern, CH) — “Faking It”
In a forest clearing, four dancers give themselves over to the most primal of reflexes – dancing to the rhythm. Processions, trances, exercises, fertility rites, and rites of passage intertwine in a crazy mix of a forest rave, boot camp, and flash mob. Among the swirling dust and the stomping of feet, a new, rebellious community is born.
17:00

Sounds of the Goleniów Rock Opera
Music from the monumental Goleniów Rock Opera “Love Will Not Die” returns to the Rampa in a concert version. The compositions of Jarosław Chilkiewicz and the words of Małgorzata Sikorska-Miszczuk will once again resonate with all their rock energy, emotions, and anti-war message.
20:00
The Night Flight Orchestra (Helsingborg, SE)
The Night Flight Orchestra will take the Rampa on a night flight through the golden era of rock – with catchy choruses, synthesizers, guitar solos, and the disco pulse of the 70s and 80s. The Swedish crew from Helsingborg will prove that classic rock can be both a hit, elegant, and made for dancing.

14:00
Piotr Myszczyszyn (Gliwice, PL) — “Mr. Pedrro’s Cheerful Circus”
A family circus show with elements of juggling, pantomime, and clowning, using fire and pyrotechnic effects. Due to his selfish behavior, the Circus Director loses his artists right before the performance and has to manage on his own… A humorous story, hopefully with a happy ending.
16:00
Arti Grabowski (Kraków, PL) – “Romeo”
“Romeo” is a tragicomic study of a man trapped in his own fears, who confines his whole life to two square meters of a balcony. From this claustrophobic stage, the retired professor delivers manifestos, weaves grand visions, and dreams of a revolution, although he cannot even cross the threshold of his apartment.
17:00
ID:Pomerania – Groove & Chill
We invite you to rest, dance, and make new friends together to music carefully selected by our DJs. Delicious drinks and good company await you. Don’t sit at home — hop on the deckchairs, because summer won’t wait!

21:00
Fanfare Ciocarlia (Zece Prajini, RO)
Entire generations of Brama members grew up on the music of Fanfare Ciocărlia – just like on Dikanda – dancing to it during workshops, trips, and shared nights. Now the legendary Romanian orchestra will stand on the Rampa in person, armed with trumpets, tubas, saxophones, and a tempo that is hard to keep up with. This will not be a concert for polite listening – see you in front of the stage!

PoeM (Turin, IT) – “Sette a Tebe – un terribile amore per la guerra”
An anti-war musical performance which – much like the festival-opening “Ghost Dance” – raises questions about violence, community, and responsibility. In besieged Thebes, the enemy turns out to be a brother, and the ancient text of Aeschylus meets contemporary voices and the experience of the younger generation.
