Life

Łucja Burzyńska completed her acting studies at the Drama Institute (Studio Dramatyczne) in her native Poznań in 1946. She made her theatrical debut in May 1946 at the New Theater Posen (Teatr Nowy w Poznaniu) under the direction of Ryszard Wasilewski with the role of Beta Lawrence in the three-act comedy Szesnastolatka (English original title: Nine Till Six ) by Aimée and Philip Stuart.

She then went to the Polish Theater in Breslau ( Teatr Polski we Wrocławiu ), where she was a permanent member of the ensemble from September 1946 to March 1990. There she played over 100 roles in the course of her career. Her first role at the Polish Theater in Wroclaw was the role of Zuzia in Damy i huzarzy (German title: Damen und Husaren ) by Aleksander Fredro , directed by Maria Leonia Jabłonkówna on the stage of the Great Theater (Teatr Wielki), in which today the Breslau Opera is playing. She had another lead role, directed by Jerzy Walden , in the Polish vaudeville The Soldier of the Queen of Madagascar by Julian Tuwim and Stanisław Dobrzański. At the side of Wacław Zdanowicz (as Saturnin Mazurkiewicz) she became the darling of the Wroclaw audience with her role.

She played in plays by William Shakespeare , Aleksander Fredro, Bertolt Brecht and Eugène Ionesco . She has also appeared in numerous pieces by authors of Polish theater literature ( Stanisław Wyspiański , Jakub Rotbaum , Szymon Szurmiej , Jan Różewicz and others). From 1999 she appeared as a guest at the Contemporary Theater in Breslau (Wrocławski Teatr Współczesny).

Since the late 1930s, before the Second World War , she was already involved in radio broadcasts and radio programs of the Polish Radio in Poznan as a teenager. During her time in Wroclaw, she worked for the theater and radio. She made radio works for children and adults, took part in satirical programs by Andrzej Waligórski and recorded radio plays (including Miriam von Truman Capote ).

Burzyńska also played in television series such as Na kłopoty ... Bednarski (1986; as the grandmother of Leszek), Świat według Kiepskich (2004, as an old woman), Pierwsza miłość (2005; as a neighbor), in television productions of plays ( Candida by George Bernard Shaw , 1971; Trans-Atlantyk by Witold Gombrowicz , 1984; Pan Dwadrzewko by Lidia Amejko , 2004) and in films, among others in To ja zabiłem (1974) by Stanisław Lenartowicz , A Single Woman (1981) by Agnieszka Holland , Berlin Breslauer Platz (1993) by Wiesław Saniewski , Czeka na nas świat by Robert Krzempek (2006; as a beggar in a wheelchair), Polska Love Serenade (2008; as grandmother Sobieska) and Summer in the Country (2011; as an old Polish woman Janina).

In October 2015, Burzyńska played a supporting role in the German TV film Heimat ist kein Ort on Das Erste . She played the old Polish girl Anna, who as a child was friends with the father of the three siblings Inge, Klaus and Uwe, who visit East Prussia , their father's homeland. In its review of the film, the Frankfurter Rundschau wrote that the figure of Anna, “touchingly embodied in her self-confident old age by 90-year-old Łucja Burzyńska”, is the most impressive figure in the film.

From 1976 Burzyńska was a lecturer and acting teacher at the Drama School of the Polish Theater in Wroclaw, which was operated in the theater until 1980. For many years she was also an acting teacher at the Academy of Music in Wroclaw (Akademia Muzyczna we Wrocławiu).

Burzyńska has received several awards for her artistic work. In 1951 she received an award at the Festival of Polish Contemporary Art (Festiwal Polskich Sztuk Współczesnych) for her role in "Wodewil warszawski" at the Theater for Young Audiences in Wroclaw (Teatr Młodego Widza we Wrocławiu). In September 2013 she was awarded the Marshal Prize of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship (Nagroda Marszałka Województwa Dolnośląskiego) for “outstanding achievements in the field of culture”. She also received the Cross of Merit of the Republic of Poland (Złoty Krzyż Zasługi) and the Order of Polonia Restituta (Order Odrodzenia Polski).
