Ta dziwna sytuacja zwana spektaklem
That Strange Institution We Call a Play

Summary/Abstract: An attempt to look at the decision of the Stary Theater's directors to suspend rehearsals for Undivine Comedy: Scraps, directed by Oliver Frljić, from a philosophical perspective. The author reflects upon the institutional nature of the theater, and suggests defining a play as a "microinstitution," whereby the "play" is to be understood not only as the final effect of the work of an ensemble, but of a wider field of tensions, power relationships, principles introduced in the course of the work, and the establishment of relationships and dependencies between the participants in a production. She also covers Frljić's political commitments and the work methods and conventions he uses in his art.
