Summary/Abstract: The author analyses Barbara Wysocka’s play Medeamaterial (Wielki Theatre – Opera Narodowa in Warsaw, premiere: 28.04.2012), based on a libretto by Pascal Dusapin with text by Heiner Müller. Łucyk points out that Wysocka’s play presents us with a contemporary Medea who serves as a metaphor for mankind after a catastrophe. A key idea behind this unique psychodrama is a fragmentary subjectivity, around which the director builds deep significance.
