La voix humaine is a one-act opera by Fran­cis Poulenc, based on a play of the same name by Jean Cocteau.

It address­es the theme of psy­cho­log­i­cal vio­lence against women, com­bin­ing the oper­at­ic form with a mod­ern, inti­mate mon­odra­ma for­mat. For the first time, the work will be pre­sent­ed in a Pol­ish-lan­guage version. 

 The hero­ine, trapped in the spi­ral of her own obses­sions, los­es the bound­ary between dream and wak­ing, illu­sion and real­i­ty. Left to her own devices, with­out help, with­out aware­ness of her own state, she sinks into the dark­ness of mad­ness and self-destruc­tion. How did she end up here? Who caused her to become stuck between worlds, to lose herself? 

We invite you on a dark jour­ney through the recess­es of the mind of a woman caught in a tox­ic rela­tion­ship. In her sto­ry, each of us may recog­nise some­thing of ourselves.

This per­for­mance is intend­ed for audi­ences aged 18 and over.
