Reasons for selection
In selecting the projects, the Committee was guided by the desire to supplement the Pavilion's program with diverse forms of dance and performance, as well as by the verification of the suitability of the submissions to the technical capabilities of the Pavilion. The selected proposals represent different aesthetics, working methods, and artistic perspectives, promote the exchange of experiences, and expand the Pavilion's offer with activities that respond to the diverse needs of the Warsaw audience.
