Karol Matuszak is an actor and creator, originally from the small town of Lowicz in Poland. Karol is a BA graduate of Acting at the Norwegian Theatre Academy in Fredrikstad. This is where the paths of Double Edge and Karol first crossed in January 2020. Beforehand, Karol studied Acting at Copenhagen International School of Performing Arts in Denmark. Karol’s practice, art making and training blend different backgrounds and techniques – drawing from classical and experimental theatre – rooted in a very physical approach and working from a premise that body and mind are one. Karol has participated in several intensives and exchange programs in Ashfield, as well as premiered his solo performance “Rainbow Exodus” at the Farm Center. In art, Karol is fueled by and works around topics such as sexuality, migration, politics and religion. Besides performing, Karol is responsible for outreach and community building, and as one of his other passions is cooking, he is also one of our theatre’s cooks.

Double Edge Theatre acknowledges and recognizes the Indigenous People – the Nipmuc and the Mohican, who have been present and lived on these lands for millennia, and whose travel and cultivation of this land we now benefit from.

We lift up the legacy of the countless peoples of African descent whose blood, bones, bodies, brilliance, and unpaid labor also built and sustained these lands.

Truth, reconciliation, rematriation, and healing will only come with acknowledgment as a first step, followed by cultural and economic reparations and other restorative actions.

Read our full acknowledgement and take action here.

On the platform of Art Justice, we build equity and solidarity with the deliberation and intentionality. This commitment includes the artists with whom we collaborate; the neighbors with whom we trade or work; our residency and training participants; and the consultants who helped to guide us. The mission / values / vision / work of Double Edge will always reflect the larger population of our region / our state / our country. Our people, our Ensemble, our collaborators identify themselves rather than being defined by others. Double Edge protects the silence of our internal space, while simultaneously ensuring that no one is silenced.
