Summary/Abstract: The text is dedicated to forms of the presence in Poland of Ukrainian theatrical authors and Ukrainian culture after 24 February 2022. An analysis of ways in which representatives of theatrical milieus reacted to the situation of the catastrophe and changes that occurred within the domain of Ukrainian and Polish theatrical life, as well as their connection with events within social space. The domain of theatrical activity is treated as a sui generis sphere of contact, i.e. space for meeting the Other, based on mutuality and perceived in reference to questions of cultural mobility. A survey of select theatrical events (which took place predominantly in the Gdańsk, Gdynia, Sopot Tri-City) constitutes a point of departure for reflections on the role of practising gratitude in the process of constituting a community.
