About Program The show depicts a single day in the life of an individual of the 21st century. The contemporary “Everyman”, whose life is “suspended” between Home and Work for a corporation, identifies his or her “pathway through life” as a “pathway to work”. The peregrination in search of the meaning of life comes into view through everyday toil, deprived of spirituality, love and beauty. The word of the “Peregrinus” is a “digital” civilization ？ sad, terrifying and grotesque, where consumerism tums into a dominant religion. A shop window is the home of the Peregrinus of the 21st century. A mobile character of the show exposes the adventures of the protagonist in various contexts of urban space. Homo Peregrinus is a formatted human being stripped of emotionality, predictable and bereft of individual characteristics.

About "The KTO Theatre" The KTO Theatre was established in 1977 in Krakow(Poland). It’s first production was “The Garden of Delight”. Its first ten performances, closed to the general public, were attended by just a few hundred people.

The statistics look considerably different now, In the company’s 43rd year of operation: over 40 productions (60 in fact, if we also count the shows prepared for special occasions) performed indoors and outdoors in Poland and around the world have been attended by over 2.5 million people. The group has visited nearly 250 cities in over 40 countries on 5 continents. It has made over 200 overseas trips, visiting Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, Tunisia, Iran, the USA, South Korea and almost all the countries in Europe.
