Under the Influence | One-Man Theater – Lustro Group | Take the Stage

“Under the Influence” is a one-woman show based on an original script inspired by a text by Ewa Owerczuk. The protagonist confronts her own history, exploring how one’s surroundings, emotions, and relationships shape identity. In a candid and moving monologue, he analyzes his own choices and the boundaries where “I” ends and social pressure begins. The play won first place at the 2025 Polish Army Artistic Maneuvers and was very well received by audiences at numerous festivals.
