#WIPCOOP 2022BELGIJSKI PROBLEEM A Polish woman leads an ordinary but satisfying life in Belgium until a certain event turns everything upside down. A tragicomic monologue about the psyché of man, about how we look at the world and how we often misinterpret it And then suddenly “waking up” with the question – Who am I really?
Paula Kopczyk, grew up in Poland, after 1 year of unplanned stay in Belgium she took the decision to stay here “for a while”, meanwhile living here for 11 years. Without taking Dutch lessons, she quickly mastered the language. Today, she diligently puts her passion for language to paper, trains as an interpreter, and this passion brings her to the theater scene.
Currently, she is training in fashion and is a tutor for children in an elementary school. The skills she develops there are incorporated into her artistic career. She does not choose the things she does in life at random. As a creator, she always wants to look at people, take a moment to consider the psychology of human beings.
Since 2017, she has been actively forming herself in theater. She studied “Word” at the Part-time Academy of Borgerhout, appeared in several productions of kunstZ, in Hoge Weg by MARTHA!TENTATIEF, Madam Fortuna a.o. and followed numerous workshops (a.o. Summer Academy in Destelheide).
