Marta Górnicka is a theatre director, author, and rediscoverer of choral principles. Górnicka creates a unique form of chorus theatre, where voices and bodies, individually or together, are intrinsically political instruments. She explores a variety of choral forms to create confrontations with unbearable realities. Marta Górnicka uses the stage as a platform to enact discourses of conflict and resolution, giving members of different communities the opportunity to make their voices heard and to recognise their shared humanity. From 2009-2014, she created her own concept of the CHÓR KOBIET, (THE CHORUS OF WOMEN) – a modern tragic chorus featuring 25 women of different ages and professions with the idea of​​ “recovering/creating a woman’s voice” as the form the most repressed out of the Western stage – and of using that gesture to regain women and the chorus for the theatre. In 2019, she founded POLITICAL VOICE INSTITUTE (PVI), a social laboratory of a modern chorus theatre in Maxim Gorki Theatre in Berlin. Now, out of the testimonies of mothers and children—Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Poles: those who have fled war; those who have fled persecution; and, finally, those who have welcomed them in Polish homes, she has created a new choral performance with the cast called Mothers; A Song for Wartime.
