A graduate of the Sculpture Faculty of the Academy of Fine Arts and the Faculty of Theatre Directing at the Academy For Dramatic Arts, and a scholar of The Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative Programme for the most promising young artists from all over the world. Most of his works were presented at the Stary Theatre in Kraków, TR Warszawa, and Polski Theatre in Wrocław.
During his directorial studies he assisted Kazimierz Kutz in the production of On Foot (Pieszo) by Sławomir Mrożek (2003) and worked with Paweł Miśkiewicz on Innocence (Niewina) by Dea Loher (2004), in which he also acted. His first independent work was KOMPOnents by Małgorzata Owsiany, developed in 2004 during the Intermedia Forum Of Theatre, baz@rt. The plays' script is based on Owsiany’s interviews with young drug addicts. In his staging, instead of concentrating on sociological analysis or the ethical issues of addiction, he focused on showing relationships and mechanisms existing inside a small group of close acquaintances which would emerge in disrupted talks, fragmented plot, and actors improvisation.
Borczuch produced Aleksander Fredro’s A Great Man For a Small Business (Wielki Człowiek do Małych Interesów) at the Stary Theatre, in which he played a double role – as director and as a stage designer. He broke this 19th century comedy into pieces by transposing it to the present day and performing it in claustrophobic spaces. Instead of concentrating on the comedic element, he presented Fredro’s characters as mere human beings. His aim was to show people’s awkwardness and faltering relationships.
