The Forest Fairy Tale

Together with Agnieszka Kolanowska we created a magical outdoor theatre experience for children and families, presented as a part of the Strawa Pod Kopcem Wandy Festival 2026.

The performance took audiences into a world of forest characters, music and the sounds of nature. The story of Solle the badger and his extraordinary friends came alive through theatre, live music, visual art and elements of Polish Sign Language.

The characters were created from wood and branches found in the forest, sculpted by Zbigniew Pałach. Their natural forms became an integral part of the story, connecting the performance even more closely with the surrounding landscape.

The performance took place without a stage, close to nature and the audience. While Agnieszka brought the characters to life, Beata created the visual world live, allowing the story to unfold before the audience’s eyes.

Created by:
Agnieszka Kolanowska – actress, theatre educator and social art practitioner.
Beata Milligan – painter and art educator working with ecological themes and natural materials.
Zbigniew Pałach – sculptor and creator of the wooden characters.
