They all have the same clothes, heavy boots, rigid schoolbags and humble haircuts. They act synchronously and with great sensitivity. They do not sing, do not talk, do not smile at each other. Chorus of Orphans directed by Jerzy Zoń is a textless, hypnotic tale about loneliness. It lasts just as long as H.M. Gorecki’s Symphony No. 3 (known also as Symphony of Sorrowful Songs) which accopanies the actors from the beginning to the end, setting the rhythm of the entire performance, that is precisely 52 minutes and 6 seconds. This is how much was needed to demonstrate a cruel reality of life in an orphanage where the sense of togetherness gives way to infinite loneliness. Chorus of Orphans is a highly moving tale about helplessness and hopelessness, about trauma and drama of human life.

"The essence of the show is the loneliness of a contemporary human being trapped in a net of individual and social limitations. (…) A huge impression is made by a universal, innovative stage set and the energetic physicality of the actors hypnotising the audience. (…) Without a shadow of doubt Chorus of Orphans is one of the best foreign productions of this year’s 35th edition of the Fadjr International Theatre Festival in Tehran."
