On September 22 at the Branch of the University of Białystok in Vilnius, an extraordinary performance titled “Dziad yyy” took place, immersing the audience in a space where the boundary between reality and metaphysics almost disappeared.
The play told the story of two characters wandering in the footsteps of Adam Mickiewicz – through the alleys of Vilnius, esoteric experiences, and questions reaching beyond ordinary perception. Everything was woven from phrases, images, and the energy of the poet’s works.
Script and music: Patryk Ołdziejewski
Director: Mateusz Sacharzewski
Cast: Anna Owerczuk, Grzegorz Zinkiewicz, Krzysztof Olejniczak
The event was hosted by the Łukasz Górnicki Podlasie Library in Białystok.
The performance accompanied the International Scientific Conference “New aesthetic and genre phenomena and ideas in 21st-century prose – the Lithuanian, Polish and Central European context”, organized by:
The Center for Polish Studies – Faculty of Philology, Vilnius University
Faculty of Philology, University of Białystok – Department of Philological Research “East – West”
The Branch of the University of Białystok in Vilnius

The audience entered a world where Mickiewicz still lives – in the word, in music, and in the mystery of Vilnius.
