Since H for Hamlet, which dealt with the Solidarnosc movement, Jan Klata has been combining repertoire theater, rock’n roll aesthetics and a documentary approach to draw a sharp criticism of contemporary Poland. He renews this confrontation with history in Transfer! and L’Affaire Danton.
The former takes up the Yalta summit in 1945, confronting the meeting of Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin with events taking place in a town affected by the decisions taken, Wroclaw. While the three statesmen preside over Europe’s fate, a choir composed of survivors of these events voices some of the tragedies which ensued.

At the crossroads between musical and documentary, Lola Arias brings us a choral composition in which six female former inmates talk about their lives during and after incarceration. Their six intertwining destinies raise questions about the various forms of violence present in contemporary society, whilst exploring the margins of fiction and reality at the same time.
