Pianist Montreal — Piano Public (Télé-Québec)
Kuba is a pianist Montreal audiences discovered through “Piano Public,” Télé-Québec’s televised piano competition hosted by Gregory Charles and Viviane Audet. Backed by guest judges from the cultural scene, the show pushes competing pianists through a series of creative challenges — testing originality and resourcefulness — until a single musician remains.
Kuba competed head-to-head against other pianists and performed duets alongside fellow contestants, each round built to pull performers out of their comfort zone through spectacular, unexpected and moving performances. The experience also included live television interviews, giving Kuba a platform to speak about his artistic journey and his approach to music.

École Supérieure de Ballet du Québec
Since September 2024, Kuba has worked as ballet accompanist at the École Supérieure de Ballet du Québec, and from September 2026 he takes on the expanded role of pianist and responsable de ressources sonores (sound resources manager). As a pianist Montreal’s ballet community relies on daily, he creates and adapts music in real time to support each exercise, closely following the teacher’s combinations and the dancers’ movement, dynamics and phrasing — turning every class into a live artistic dialogue where music and movement shape each other moment by moment. Between 2018 and 2021, he served as accompanist for the Song and Dance Ensemble “Krakus” (ZPiT AGH Krakus) in Poland, building the foundation for the real-time, movement-responsive playing that now defines his work in Montreal.

Bella Sutra — A Live Film Experience
Presented in November 2025 at the Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal (RIDM), and at the Opening Gala of the DOXA Documentary Film Festival in Vancouver in April 2026, Bella Sutra unfolded as an immersive live film experience — a 16mm cinematic essay brought to life through live piano and narration. As pianist, Kuba improvised in real time alongside the screening, drawing on a personal repertoire of existing compositions to shape the film’s emotional arc live, in dialogue with image and sound rather than through a pre-written score. Shot on hand-developed analog film, the work traces life in Bella Coola, a remote mountain village in British Columbia, blending intimate storytelling with sharp reflections on our communication crisis, the rural–urban divide, and the fragile myth of progress. Raw, personal, and unfiltered, the screening transformed into a living dialogue between image and sound. The live performance featured OK Pedersen (director & narration), Eden Glasman (violin), Kuba Tokarczyk (piano), and Peter Hošták (soundscape) — extending the project’s cinematic resonance from Montreal to the West Coast.

Théâtre Aleph — Le Kabaret de la dernière chance
Performed in December 2022 and June 2023 in Paris, Le Kabaret de la dernière chance returned to the stage at Théâtre Aleph as a vibrant tribute to its creator Oscar Castro. Originally written in 1986 by Oscar Castro and Pierre Barouh, this cult classic blends burlesque extravagance with razor-sharp comedy in a theatrical explosion of color, satire, and live music.
Fierce, absurd, poetic, and unapologetically theatrical, the show channels a surreal energy somewhere between Federico Fellini and Luis Buñuel — a whirlwind of eccentric characters, explosive humor, and generous, high-voltage acting.
Written by Oscar Castro and Pierre Barouh, directed by Sylvie Miqueu, Cosme Castro, and Oscarito Castro, with live musicians Timothée Durand and Jakub Tokarczyk, and music by Anita Vallejo — this production was a celebration of laughter, resistance, and the wild, beating heart of cabaret theatre.

3 piano pieces
Three piano compositions in a minimalist and neoclassical style, written during the COVID epidemic. Titled Noon, Runaway, and After C, they reflect a period of introspection, stillness, and quiet emotional intensity.
I have loved composing since my earliest years, and it remains one of the most natural forms of expression for me. My pieces are not meant to be complex—they come straight from the heart, and I hope one day to arrange them for orchestra or for smaller ensembles.
