6 volumes, 3600 pages, dozens of translations, millions of copies sold. „My Struggle” a series of novels by Karl Ove Knausgård has been a great success on the publishing market in recent years. Knausgård described in these novels his entire life, from childhood to adulthood. One night in TR Warszawa is all you need to get to know his whole story. A theatre production of this one-of-a-kind biographical novels is directed by Michał Borczuch, one of the most interesting contemporary Polish directors.

Michał Borczuch is a laureate of Polityka’s Passport Award 2018 in the “Theatre” category for directing „My Struggle” (among others). The committee awarded the director for „an original and moving theatre. Full of empathy but at the same time a theatre that carefully and without irony analyses the creation and functioning of our ego, memory mechanisms and the role of art in life.”

Reviews
- “There is no way this could ever work, but it does. Michał Borczuch is staging in TR Warszawa an outstanding production based on the internationally successful novel.”
- “ Borczuch gives in to the temptation to veer away from the linear stage story and theatre in itself, and offer an illusion of life, instead. In that regard he is similar to Knausgård and thus, is the perfect person to stage ‘My struggle’.”
- “ On the modern world dominated by a narcissistic perspective, ego and emotions. A daring adaptation of the Karl Ove Knausgard’s autobiography.”
- “ Borczuch has already become a real theatre master. There is no other director from his generation, who can drive several complementing narratives in such intelligent and non-obvious manner. The narratives together with other components of “My Struggle” – excellent acting, superb set design by Dorota Nawrot, lighting by Jacqueline Sobiszewski and music by Bartosz Dziadosz – result in a state of the art theatre.”
- “ Michał Borczuch’s performance based on Knausgård’s „My Struggle” may seem as unreal and impossible as its inspiration. However both are. And both are worth returning to. This is more than theatre, it is a life experience.”
- “I am simply astounded, how a human mind can comprehend all of what Knausgård had written (which is in 80% a description and/or an internal monologue) and present on stage a story of a man who had accomplished nothing in his life.”
