A monodrama based on works by Haupt and works on Haupt. An attempt to approach not so much the author’s creative work, but the author himself. His character, personality traits, and the experiences that shaped this personality.

“Not much is known about Zygmunt Haupt. We want to know more, but where can we get the information from? Genuine information. Case studies, limited and arid, are somehow “deprived of the human.” Who was this Haupt? It would be best to ask him in person and to look at him a little. That is impossible; there is, however, someone who can say more about Haupt. Differently.” | Antoni Ferency, director
