Krzysztof Garbaczewski is a pupil of one of the greatest directors of our time, Christian Lupa, whose European fame came from his discoveries in the use of media technologies in theater. The director himself often calls his productions, which balance on the edge of dramatic art and cinema, "theatrical installations".
For the first time Garbaczewski started working with live streaming technology in 2010, when he created a production based on the play "Death Star" by his regular co-author, playwright Marcin Cecko (Jerzy Szanyawski Drama Theater, Wałbrzych): the action unfolded in various spaces of an ancient cinema under the lenses of dozens of video cameras that transmitted the image to a large screen, through which the audience watched the events of the performance. The experiment to explore the interaction between the "live plan" and video broadcasting was continued in the play "Yvonne, Princess of Burgundy" by Witold Gombrowicz (Jan Kohanowski Theater in Opole, 2012), which turned the theater stage into a film set.
As part of the IX International Alexandrinsky Festival in 2015, he staged Macbeth on the New Stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre (September 25, 26 and 27, 2015).
