The Only Tallest Trees on Earth

Directed by Ivan Vyrypaev

With Karolina Gruszka, Magdalena Górska and Bartłomiej Topa

A play about the contemporary individual, lost in a world of radical divisions and media-driven chaos. Set in Washington, D.C.—where political decisions permeate everyday life—the play explores themes of freedom, identity, and control, revealing how the very keys to navigating our world have become increasingly precarious. It is a world defined by the Trump era, marked by fierce ideological disputes, radical instruments of influence, populism, and a language that increasingly serves as a substitute for genuine choice.Sandy and Dorothy —sharp-witted, ironic commentators on reality—meet to analyze the chaos of modern America and the wider world, mocking its many absurdities. Their intelligent exchanges are filled with humor and biting retorts. Living alongside them is Bonch—a man defined by loss, who, following the death of his son, prays daily beneath a tree. In a public and media landscape dominated by spectacle, his perspective on the world appears naive, perhaps even suspicious.
