Artists Words: Łukasz Twarkowski
On 9 September 2026 online, take part in the conversation between theatre director and multimedia artist Łukasz Twarkowski, and theatre and opera director Tom Creed.
What does it mean to be an artist in Europe today? How does your identity shape your work - and how does your work, in turn, shape society around it?
Working at the intersection of theatre, visual arts and digital technologies, Łukasz Twarkowski creates immersive, large-scale performances that challenge theatrical conventions and play with the boundaries between reality and illusion. His productions, including ROHTKO, Respublika, The Employees and QUANTA, have travelled to festivals and stages across Europe and beyond.
In conversation with theatre and opera director Tom Creed, Twarkowski will share reflections on his artistic practice and on creating and presenting work across different countries, contexts and audiences. The conversation will also offer space to think about the relationship between artists and festivals, and what each can make possible for the other.
The Artists Words are part of the '70-Years-On Conversations' series, in which artists, festival makers or city representatives, always in dialogue with a festival maker from the 70-Years-On Thinking Group, reflect on the challenges and opportunities facing the sector today, as outlined in the 70-Years-On Agenda.
These sessions welcome everyone involved in festivals and the arts - artists, producers, administrators, audiences. They are a space to listen to inspiring guests, engage in thought-provoking discussions, question and share your own ideas.
