The history of rave music in Poland

2024 · 76 min · Documentary, Music

The film tells the story of the evolution of rave music and subculture in Poland. Two young ravers will guide us through this world: Marysia and Janusz, along with Marcello Zamenhoff – a performance artist and one of the pioneers of Polish rave. The basic question the characters are hoping to answer is will the young generation be able to reconcile the Polish techno scene, which has stayed class-divided since its very beginnings in the ‘90s.

MovieDocumentary
A documentary that follows a group of young performers with disabilities invited by the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw (MSN). As the grand opening of the museum's new building approaches, the group prepares a provocative performance scheduled for Halloween night. The film captures the intense rehearsals led by artists Nadia Markiewicz, Agata Wąsik, Daniel Kotowski, and "Babcia." Together, they reclaim the dark history of 19th-century "freak shows" to turn it into a tool for subversion. Through drag, opera, and monologues, each performer stages their own body and personal experiences on camera. The narrative culminates in the official premiere at the museum. This performative climax transforms their vulnerability into a radical manifesto, shocking the audience, breaking taboos surrounding marginalized bodies, and redefining contemporary standards of beauty.
