Cezary Tomaszewski, born in Warsaw in 1976, choreographer, director, and performer.

He studied theater at the Theatre Academy in Warsaw and choreography at Brucknerkonservatorium Linz in Austria. He directed Franz Lehar’s The Merry Widow in 2009 in Vienna, which earned critics’ picks in the magazines “Theater Heute” and “Falter” for Best Young Director and the Best Off Production in 2009 in Vienna. Two of his early projects, Last Temptation of Saint Bernardette and Dance Tetralogy, were presented at theatres in Austria and Switzerland. He also directed musical productions by Capella Cracoviensis: the stage production of Monteverdi’s madrigals Baroque feast in a milk bar in Kraków, and operas: Gluck’s Orpheus and Eurydice, Handel’s Amadigi di Gaula and Moniuszko’s Halka among others. In Polish dramatical theatres he directed Wyspiański’s Wedding Based on Wedding.

RESTORE A BUILDING
REMAKE A WORLD
Rendering: 74 East 4th St.
La MaMa’s historic, landmark building at 74 East 4th Street is undergoing an urgently needed
complete renovation and restoration to preserve the historic façade, create building-wide ADA
accessibility, and provide much needed performance, exhibition and community space for
decades to come.
La MaMa, founded by Ellen Stewart in 1961, has been on east 4th Street since 1967. La MaMa
embraces every person in its community and is legendary as the place where new artists of all
nations, cultures, races, and identities are given opportunities. It is the place where art begins.
