Arna
Is it possible to emigrate from one’s own life?
From country to country. From love to love. From who we are to who we might dare to become.
ARNA is an original chamber musical by Joanna Stanecka and Zibby Krebs—a unique fusion of theatre, music, and performance, in which rock, blues, jazz, and poetry intertwine to form a single, pulsating narrative.
Two artistic personalities meet on stage: Joanna Stanecka—an actress and vocalist—and Zibby Krebs—a guitarist, composer, and songwriter. Their shared language transcends genre boundaries. Here, music is not merely a backdrop for the story; it becomes a second protagonist—an emotion and a space where words are not always necessary.
This is theatre created with a human focus: intense, raw, tender, and unpredictable. It eschews pre-packaged formulas, featuring live music, original text, and a stage world crafted with meticulous attention to every detail.
We move from the Bałuty district of Łódź to New York—specifically, to the world of 1930s Harlem. Arna, a sensitive and solitary young woman, spends her days working in the household of an English aristocratic family, polishing silver forks and performing tasks that no one will ever remember. By night, she slips away to Harlem’s clubs to sing. There, she discovers music, finds her own voice, and encounters a love that has the power to change everything.
Yet, *Arna* is more than just a story about emigrating from one country to another. It is a tale of an inner journey—a story about the longing for freedom, about a body that knows the truth before the mind does, about a love capable of turning one’s entire life upside down, and about the courage to stop being who others expect us to be.
Is freedom something to be found far away? Or does it begin the moment we return to our true selves?
*Arna*—because sometimes the greatest journey begins the moment we stop running away from ourselves.
