About the artist

Ewa Mikuła is a Polish dramaturg and theatre director. She is a graduate of Theatre Directing with a specialization in Theatre Dramaturgy from the AST National Academy of Theatre Arts in Kraków and Theatre Studies from the Jagiellonian University. Within the framework of documentary theatre, she explores everyday narratives, using them to reflect larger societal processes.

Mikuła made her debut alongside Piotr Froń with an autobiographical piece about her working-class heritage, titled Work, Work, published in the monthly magazine Dialog. She has worked as a dramaturg and playwright on multiple productions, including Swans, directed by S.T. Berg at the Korea International Accessible Dance Festival (KIADA) in Seoul in 2024. In Bratislava, Mikuła created the performance Adulthood, which focuses on alternative education methods, based on a three-year documentary process with Polish and Slovak youth (Divadlo Ludus, 2023). For the past two years, she has conducted artistic research on ethnic minorities and language as part of the European programme Future Laboratory, during residencies in Luxembourg, Romania, and France. Her latest project, the play TOĆ, explores the boundaries of speech in her native Silesian ethnic minority language, seen through the eyes of young female speakers.
