Krzysztof Dubiel
CEO & CSO of Enjoy Street Theatre Cultural Project
I believe in art that touches people the way the wind touches the streets — gently, yet irreversibly.
I believe in the kind of courage that lets us face the world without a mask.
And I believe in a team whose rhythm echoes within my own heartbeat.
Here, between a step and a gesture, between breath and light, I find myself.
And this is where I choose to live.

Official Ensemble Manifesto
We believe in art that meets people where they are — in open air, in motion, in the heartbeat of the streets.
We believe that every performance is an act of courage, a gesture of trust, and an invitation to see the world anew.
We bring stories to life not behind walls, but in the living pulse of the city, where every passerby becomes part of the moment.
We stand as one ensemble — united by purpose, driven by passion, and devoted to the transformative power of street theatre.
Here, we turn ordinary places into extraordinary stages.
Vivamus ardenter
we choose to live and create with fire.
Cum arte, cum audacia
We perform with the whole body — and the whole heart.
Coniuncti consequimur
because street theatre thrives on unity
