The production of the National Stary Theatre in Kraków was presented in Wuzhen thrice – there were two shows on 19th October. It was the second Polish performance shown at this festival, after the successful staging of the intimate play by the Song of the Goat Theatre – Portraits of the Cherry Orchard directed by Grzegorz Bral in 2015. It was also the first play by Jan Klata that the Chinese theatre fans were able to watch. Enemy of the People is a story about an individual's struggle against the system and against society, still as relevant today as when it was written.
