Description

A musical adaptation of the cult comic book by Janusz Christa, a school reading for the 4th grade of elementary school. Chatelain Mirmił always dreamed of being able to fly, so he enrolls to a Higher School of Broom Flying located at Łysa Góra. He is accompanied by his faithful warriors, Kajko and Kokosz. Their absence from Mirmiłowo is something the bloodthirsty Hegemon wants to take advantage of – he has ordered his Ruffians to seize the stronghold. This show – just like the film “Shrek” – is perfect for both children and adults!

„Polityka"

The mad flight of the heroes is a reference to the new adventure cinema, and the scenes with the headmistress of the Higher School of Broom Flying are spectacular. She is played – brilliantly – by Przemysław Glapiński, who steals the show also in the role of the Corporal.

This musical adaptation is an ideal show for the youngest viewers, which can be heard in the audience. Because this audience is extremely involved in whatever’s happening on stage. Undoubtedly – that’s the best review possible.

It’s an especially successful show, in which you can feel the spirit of the comic book, adventure, humour, universal truths and real emotions. The songs created for the musical are not only complement it, but also enrich the story.

„Nowa Fantastyka"

The adventures of Mirmił, who like Icarus dreamed about flying through the clouds, are really entertaining. The makeup and costumes of the actors recreate an exaggerated version of the characteristic look of the comic book heroes (an effect comparable to the film adaptation of Asterix). The songs are an integral part of the script. They are enjoyable and invite the audience (children and adults alike) to interact with the actors. Lubawa (played by Jolanta Litwin-Sarzyńska) is an unrefined, concrete woman who steals the attention of the audience. The second ace is Przemysław Glapiński. He plays the Corporal, but he’s really on fire as the headmistress of the Flying School.

O północy w kulturze

It’s an excellent adaptation – with an engaging plot, memorable songs and impressive acting (lead by Marcin Wortmann as Mirmił and Przemysław Glapiński as the Corporal and the Headmistress of the Flying School).
