Summary/Abstract: Report from the 2nd “Warszawa Centralna” International Theatre Festival, subtitled Migrations (15-31 October 2010). Zielińska draws attention to the fact that the “migrations” in the title were conceived as a crossing of boundaries between states and nations, cultures, religions, various art disciplines and the sexes. She substantiates her proposition by describing the festival’s diverse programme – from events concentrated around the Palace of Culture (including Michael Marmarinos’ Plac Apokalipsa and Aernout Mik’s Communitas), to projects devoted to Fryderyk Chopin (including Christian Garcia from Velma’s Glissando and Adrian Walter’s Pandora Box – Paderewski) and productions by John Simons, René Pollesch, Dorky Park and the Tmuna Theatre from Tel Aviv. Zielińska does not however rate the festival as a success: For in her opinion, the festival lacks a clear form and loses its vigour as a result.
