Between Heaven and Earth explores the boundaries of justice, guilt, and vengeance through the lens of human tragedy. A malfunctioning elevator traps four individuals: two soldiers with a dark past, a dispassionate lawyer, and a seemingly ordinary woman. As they face an enigmatic voice accusing them of unthinkable crimes, buried truths surface, unraveling the horrors of war and the human capacity for accountability – or the lack thereof. Alternating between the claustrophobic tension in the elevator and an intense interrogation room, the play delves into questions of morality, complicity, and survival, leaving the audience questioning the price of justice.

The play returns to the Kraków stage after its premiere on April 11, 2025, where it was met with enthusiastic reception. Soon it will represent Poland at the International Theatre Festival in Sharm El Sheikh. Based on the play, the film script also went on to become a finalist at the 15th Catalina Film Festival.
