Right now we’re in motion. We’re rehearsing, researching, hosting workshops, building partnerships, and shaping new projects — sometimes on stage, sometimes in studios, sometimes out in the city. Here you’ll find what’s unfolding at Jubilo at this very moment.

What We’re Working On
ELEGIA – A Theatre Performance of Prose, Poetry & Polyphonic Singing
An international ensemble of actors from Poland, Italy, and Canada comes together to explore the fragile bond between love and hatred, brotherhood and conflict.
Check where and when you can see Elegy
Jubilo is an independent theatre company. Since 2011, we have been making theatre where it's not supposed to exist – in prisons, refugee centres, on the streets, in places the stage usually forgets.
We believe that music, movement and shared presence can cross barriers that words cannot – social, linguistic, cultural.
We don’t do this instead of theatre. We do this as theatre. Every voice deserves to be heard.
Our activities
01
Performances
Theatre & music as encounter
Devised performance pieces born from long-term encounters – often with people excluded from culture. We blend theatre and music to open dialogue, touring festivals and partner stages in Poland and abroad.
02
Workshops
Tools for voice, body, and dialogue
Our workshops offer accessible theatre practice for different formats and budgets: public programmes, partner projects, and paid sessions. Expect hands-on work with voice, body, rhythm, and storytelling – focused on agency and encounter.
03
Projects
Longer journeys, broader fields
Projects gather our bigger initiatives—research, collaborations, community programmes, and artistic experiments that unfold over time. They connect performances and workshops into longer processes, built with partners and shaped by real contexts.
Our work grows in two directions at once — inward, through rigorous theatre research and actor training, and outward, into communities where artistic dialogue becomes a way of being present together. This dual practice is what shapes everything we create.
The Studio and the World
In closed sessions, our actors train through voice, movement, and song — developing material that becomes the foundation of performances and concerts. Then we carry those tools into prisons, shelters, and streets, where they are tested and transformed by encounter.
Unlocking / Odkluczanie
Our longest-running project brings professional theatre practice into closed and semi-open prison units in Wrocław and Świdnica — producing award-winning performances, training programmes for inmates, and ongoing academic research, in partnership with the Grotowski Institute.
Building Bridges Across Europe
Through Creative Europe, Erasmus+, and as co-founders of the International Network of Theatre in Prison under UNESCO patronage, we connect theatre makers working in spaces of exclusion — from Spoleto to Tehran, from Paris to Matera.
