About GENESIS

A story told in light and music.

The idea

GENESIS retells the story of Creation without a single spoken word. Light, colour and an original score carry the story from darkness to a living world, scene by scene.

What you will see

Projections cover the walls and vaults of the hall, so the room itself becomes the screen. You sit inside the image rather than in front of it. The show lasts 25 minutes, long enough to lose yourself and short enough to fit into any day in Kraków.

Made for every language

There is no narration and no dialogue. Whether you speak Polish, English, Italian or Japanese, you follow the same story in the same way. It works for children and adults alike.

Royal Chopin Hall

The show takes place in Royal Chopin Hall, Bernardyńska 2, at the foot of Wawel Hill in Kraków's Old Town, a short walk from the Main Market Square. The historic interior, with its vaulted ceiling, is part of the performance.

GENESIS is the official promoter and authorised ticket seller for Royal Chopin Hall.
