Stand-up Trzebnica | Rafał Rutkowski in “Time Machine”

Rafał Rutkowski will perform in Trzebnica with “Time Machine,” his fourth solo stand-up show. The performance takes place on February 14, 2027, at 5:00 p.m. at the Gminne Centrum Kultury i Sztuki. In the show, Rutkowski travels through time and, in his own style, contrasts the present with the past.

Questions he raises in the show include:

• Was it better in the past, or are we living in the best times right now?
• Is artificial intelligence humanity's hope, or the beginning of its end?
• How much has technology changed us?
• Are we smarter than our ancestors, or is human stupidity doing better than ever?

Rutkowski also looks back on his childhood in communist-era Poland (PRL) and recalls the absurdities of those times. He reminisces about the phenomenon of the Fiat 126p, queues for mustard, meat ration coupons, and parties during martial law. He also tells the story of his first trip “to the West” and of flirting long-distance with his Swedish wife. He will reveal how he impressed a girl with aerobatic flying and how he used contraception in Belarus.
