Rooted Resilience | Ep 7 | Rainbow Exodus with Karol Matuszak

from Rooted Resilience · host L. Abbott; M.R.

How do you transform grief, politics, and identity into a living, breathing work of art?In this episode of Rooted Resilience, we sit down with Karol Matuszak, a Polish-born actor and performer now based in Ashfield, MA, and a company member of Double Edge Theatre. Karol opens up about his journey across borders—from Catholic school in a small Polish town, to experimental stages in Scandinavia, to outdoor spectacles in rural New England, and how each step fueled his artistry and activism.At the heart of our conversation is Rainbow Exodus, Karol’s first solo performance, which weaves together personal memory, queer histories, and protest. Through stories of migration, love, faith, and resilience, Karol shares what it means to create art that is both deeply personal and urgently political.💌 Episode extras & transcripts: rootedresilience.substack.com 🌱 Support the Rooted Resilience project: givebutter.com/rooted-resilience
