The Jury of the 45^th festival KONTRAPUNKT in Szczecin distinguished Szymon Czacki for the role of Kaspar in the homonymous production, directed at Wroclawski Teatr Wspolczesny by Barbara Wysocka.

According to the verdict, Czacki's merit consisted in „teaching the audience the weight and value of the word”.

The production was created in March 2009. It is an analysis of the manipulative power of language, first depriving a person of their individuality, then imposing a stereotypical order of thought, emotions, behaviour

After the opening, Anna R. Burzynska wrote in Tygodnik Powszechny: “The well-spoken, re-formed Kaspar, speaking like a fanatical politician, is more frightening than his tormentors. As if he wanted to shout down the pain in his head, oppose to the murderous power of language, with even more destructive words.”
