Summary/Abstract: A review of the komuna//warszawa play Terry Pratchett: Social Sciences – A Modern Chamber Opera (premiere: 16.02.2014). Paweł Schreiber examines the fictional character of Captain Vimes, head of the City Patrol of Ankh-Morpork, a metropolis from the Discworld novel series by Terry Pratchett. Komuna//warszawa has transformed the richly detailed plot of the series into an everyday game, in which the participants are the archetypes of the guardian of the law and the sowers of lawlessness. The reviewer calls attention to the originality of the form of the production, which uses the aesthetic of dance theater and opera to build an ambiguous image of the workings of the law and order in society in a thoughtful manner.
