Inny Świat: Different World Poetry and music

6th June 2026

Marek Szymański
Marek Szymański is a writer, poet, and cultural organiser whose work moves between the worlds of technology and art. His poetry, featured in literary anthologies, touches on themes of identity, distance, belonging, and the subtle threads that connect people across borders. His work is driven by a simple idea: that whether through radio waves or written words, connection remains at the heart of everything we do.

Little Prince & Friends
The Little Prince and his friends will draw you into Inny Świat and introduce the musical part of the evening. Their broad musical skills and understanding of lyrics guarantee great emotions with every song. The poetry chosen by the Little Prince, combined with melody, is just the beginning of the wonderful time we will spend together.

Kamil Kroplewski – violin
Paweł Bernardo – guitar

Konrad Staniszewski
A still young and promising musician and singer, born in the last century, Konrad Staniszewski composes songs to the poetry of his fellow countryman and friend Grzegorz Szafoni, trying to add to these beautiful verses the subtle touch of music.

Zakvas
The lyrics and music are written by Kamil Kroplewski, and arranged by the entire band. Some of the lyrics were written 25 years ago; most, however, were created between 2020 and 2025. The inspiration comes from impressions and reflections, primarily on our ephemerality but also on appreciating every moment. Hence, themes of death, fun, and dance emerge.
