He has worked on numerous productions with Ivo van Hove, both at the theatre (Schiller’s Mary Stuart, Kushner’s Angels in America, Bergman’s Cries and Whispers, Jon Fosse’s And We’ll Never Be Parted, Molière’s The Miser, Alexandre Dumas fils’ La Dame aux camélias, and Arthur Miller’s The Crucible); and at the opera (Tchaikovsky’s Mazeppa at the Berlin Komische Oper, the world premiere production of Wuorinen’s Brokeback Mountain at the Teatro Real in Madrid, Verdi’s Macbeth at the Lyon Opera). Wojciech Dziedzic also collaborated with Thibaud Delpeut on All My Sons (Miller) and A Doll’s House (Ibsen) with the Toneelgroep Amsterdam company, and on Phaedra (Claus), Crave (Sara Kane) and Caligula (Camus) at the Utrecht Theatre.
