Strzelecki's "Portrait with Ladies"
"Scena 98" performances in Perth

The Polish Youth Theatre Group 'Scena 98' invites you to the performance "Portrait with Ladies" written by Anna Habryn. A portrait of Polish explorer, Sir Paul Edmund de Strzelecki. Living in the 19th Century, Strzelecki discovered gold and other precious metals in Australia, but is probably most famous for naming the highest peak in the Australian Alps, Mt Kosciuszko. This production takes the viewers on a journey through space and time, showing fragments of Strzelecki's life, in Poland, in Australia, and in England, together with his interactions with his first and only love, Adyna Turno.

This biographical portrait clashes with the Helen Heney's accounts of his life, from her biography of this famous explorer "In a Dark Glass".
