**Title: "Deluge" - A Vibrant Theatrical Adaptation of Henryk Sienkiewicz's Classic Novel on Polish Television.** Michał Siegoczyński presents a bold, modern retelling of the story of Andrzej Kmicic in "Deluge" at the Polish Television Theatre. Kmicic, a rebellious rogue turned passionate patriot, navigates a journey from adventurer to hero during the Swedish Deluge. The story unfolds in a distorted mirror, blending humor, grotesque, romance, and drama. Kmicic (Piotr Witkowski) returns from exile to contemporary Poland. His companions evoke gangsters, while 17th-century knights share the stage with Janosik, Sienkiewicz, Terapeutka, Czarna Madonna, and Bob Marley. Husaria charges to techno beats, Guns N' Roses, Beyoncé, and The Smiths play. Characters shift between a Baroque tavern and a trendy nightclub. Loyal to the spirit of the original, "Deluge" is a tale of patriotic love that unites generations, transcending fashion - from kontusz to leather jackets.
