The Gravestones CONCERT
Ratusz Staromiejski (courtyard), Rynek Staromiejski 1
Nagrobki (The Gravestones) band comprises Maciej Salamon (guitar, vocals) and Adam Witkowski (drums, vocals).
Its music is an original mixture of guitar noise, cold wave, big beat and early black metal. As you can expect from a band with this name, the lyrics of all songs deal with fading, declining and dying.
They have also created music for theatre performances. Additionally, the band members have showcased their visual works in prestigious art galleries, including the Centre for Contemporary Art Kronika in Bytom, Trafostacja Sztuki in Szczecin, Biennale Warszawa, State Gallery of Art in Szczecin, Bunkier Sztuki in Krakow).
The main partner of the event is Art Connections Foundation

The Visible/Invisible HAPPENING
Old Town Square
A group of volunteers, assisted by students of the Academy of Fine Arts Performance Studio in Krakow, under the artistic supervision of Artur Grabowski, will perform actions in urban spaces inspired by the performances of Aurélien Bory’s invisibili and Robert Wilson’s Dorian. The common denominator of both performances is a kind of slowing down, slowing down time into which dynamically flow reflections on alienation and exclusion. The slow motion and the loop will become figures to tell the story of nomads, migrants at the time of the refugee
crisis. Their stories will be looped literally and figuratively by means of a time carousel located in the Old Town Square in Toruń.

The Rebellious Backyard Orchestra The Disgrace! CONCERT
Teatr im. Wilama Horzycy (Main auditorium), pl. Teatralny 1
Hańba! (The Disgrace!) combines urban folk and punk rock. The band consists of Andrzej Zamenhof (banjo, vocals), Ignacy Woland (tuba, saxhorn), Tadeusz Król (accordion, clarinet, saxophone), and Adam Sobolewski (taraban, vocals). They gave their first live concert in 2013. The Rebellious Backyard Orchestra Hańba! had been created to tell a fictional musical story whose characters condemned the evil of the world of the 1930s and 1940s: full of hatred, social inequality, militarism, chauvinism, and anti-Semitism.
