Summary/Abstract: Aleksandra Haduła reviews Paweł Passini's play based on Forefathers' Eve (Alojzy Smolka Puppet and Actor Theater, premiere: 14.03.2015). The author points out the director's consistent concept in creating the atmosphere of a ceremony and prompting individual audience responses without imposing concrete interpretations. The strategy of adapting the drama is also important in the use of puppets. Passini mainly uses the motifs of madness and mysticism, while the melody and rhythm of the words play a much more important role than the structure of the events, as stressed by the phonetic inscription of the title: ['d?ad?].
