Summary/Abstract: Reviewing Agnieszka Olsten's play Miki Mister DJ, based on the drama by Mateusz Pakuła (Miejski Theater in Gdynia, premiere: 13 X 2012), the author points out that Pakuła's text is an open drama. It is formally composed of a series of loosely connected scenes, interweaving places of action, and appearing and disappearing protagonists, providing many stage opportunities. Olsten's decision to have the text sung by the actors gives the play the form of a modern electronic music concert. This strategy emphasizes the essence of Pakuła's drama, in which the colorful and musical language of the protagonists clashes with their emotional void.
