    Dzieci has been steadily working on a Gypsy retelling of the Shakespearean classic Macbeth.Dzieci has been steadily working on a Gypsy retelling of the Shakespearean classic Macbeth. Dzieci (djyeh-chee) is an international experimental theatre ensemble dedicated to a search for the "sacred" through the medium of theatre. "Dzieci" is the Polish word for "Children". Dzieci believes the creative act must, primarily, have a transformative effect on the artist himself. Using techniques garnered from such theatre masters as Jerzy Grotowski, Eugenio Barba and Peter Brook, ritual forms derived from Native American and Eastern spiritual disciplines, and an ethic based securely in Humanistic Psychology, Dzieci aims to create a theatre that is as equally engaged with personal transformation as it is with public presentation. Towards this aim, the ensemble balances its work on performance with work of service, through creative and therapeutic interaction in hospitals and a variety of institutional settings. Dzieci believes helping others generates a profound healing effect that not only serves the patient but also strengthens the ensemble's work. Dzieci is firmly dedicated to process.
