Dominik Więcek

Dominik Więcek’s works are filled with humour, playfulness and a sense of lightness, deconstructing dance history, theatre rules and tradition. Taking autobiographical topics, he makes them resonate with the audiences’ lived experiences. Więcek believes in confessional performances in which honesty can be situated somewhere between privacy and theatrical formality. He flirts with many theatrical genres, explores demanding physical states through extensive movement research, experiments with his own image and challenges societal norms by being an unapologetically queer artist creating in Poland. Trusting his intuition and driven by curiosity he allows himself: not to know, to make mistakes, to take roads to nowhere, as well as getting excited about the smallest of discoveries. Since 2020 together with Dominika Wiak, Daniela Komędera and Monika Witkowska, he has co-created durational performances and stage works as the Sticky Fingers Club. In 2021 Więcek created «Café Müller», which was selected for Aerowaves #Twenty23.
