Hexeline and Teatr Wybrzeże invite you to the premiere of “The Life and Death of Mr. Hersh Libkin of Sacramento, California”
Hollywood, big dreams, and secrets that could destroy everything.
Hersh, an immigrant from Poland, arrives in California to conquer the world of film. Fate smiles upon him: he wins an audition at the legendary Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio and becomes part of the dream factory. However, the road to the top quickly turns into a dangerous game. The protagonist’s past piques the FBI’s interest, and suspicions begin to mount around him. Who is the titular Hersh? Is his story merely a tale of the American dream come true, or part of a larger, dark conspiracy? And who is truly the love of Hersh’s life?
Ishbel Szatrawska’s play is a gripping, multi-layered story about identity, survival, and longing for a lost homeland. Full of tension, irony, and emotion, it balances on the border between cinema and theater, combining Hollywood-style grandeur with the intimate drama of the individual.
