ARMIA GWIAZD – A MUSICAL SPECTACLE IN WROCŁAW'S MARKET SQUARE
“Armia Gwiazd” combines music, dance and extensive choreography in a show announced for Wrocław’s Market Square. With the Representative Artistic Ensemble of the Polish Armed Forces, the programme travels through different periods of Polish history.
Armia GwiazdARMIA GWIAZD transforms Wrocław's Market Square into the setting for a large-scale performance combining music, dance and historical storytelling. Led by Colonel Dr Mariusz Dziubek, the Representative Artistic Ensemble of the Polish Army presents a programme for the city's celebrations, pairing the breadth of a large ensemble with the energy of individual performers. Around a hundred artists take part, including soloists, dancers and a choir, with DJ Gambit adding another musical perspective. Together, these elements create a stage narrative that approaches tradition through a contemporary spectacle. It is an invitation to audiences who enjoy the interplay of sound, movement, imagery and a strong connection with the crowd.
The Polish Army Representative Artistic Ensemble
The Representative Artistic Ensemble of the Polish Army (RZAWP) is the largest artistic institution in the Polish Armed Forces and one of the most recognizable ambassadors of national culture in Poland and worldwide. The ensemble inherits over 100 years of tradition in theatrical and stage groups operating at Polish Soldiers' Homes during the Second Polish Republic and fulfills Marshal Józef Piłsudski's timeless wish to create a soldier's stage where "mostly optimistic and joyful plays, instilling faith and hope in people, should be performed."
The ensemble comprises soloists, a choir, a ballet, a symphony orchestra, and a concert orchestra, totaling over 150 artists: singers, musicians, dancers, and choral artists. The unique hallmarks of the RZAWP are its stage costumes – faithful copies of authentic historical uniforms from the warriors of Mieszko I, through the winged hussars of Jan III Sobieski, to the present day.
The ensemble's collection includes over 1,200 costumes and props, unmatched on Polish stages in their diversity, rich decoration and colour. This is more than a visual feast – it is a vivid, moving journey through the history of Polish arms.
The ensemble's achievements to date are impressive: over 60,000 concerts in Poland and over 200 tours abroad, including to Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, South Korea, China, the United States, and Canada. In 1994, the ensemble performed at a special audience for John Paul II. The ensemble's portfolio also includes over 100 CDs of Polish patriotic songs and numerous productions for Polish Television and cinema. All of its performances are warmly applauded by audiences and complimented by music critics for their artistry and mastery of performance.
