Summary/Abstract: Katarzyna Waligóra reviews the 50th Counterpoint Revue of Small Theatrical Forms (Szczecin, 17-26.04.2015), focusing on three performances in particular: Mystery Magnet by CAMPO, Von einem der auszog weil er sich die Miete nicht mehr leisten konnte (Of a Man Who Moved out, Because He Couldn't Afford the Rent)byRené Pollesch and Dirk von Lowtzow, and Distant Voices by Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki. The author points out that all three plays combine the use of an interesting scenographic concept or formal solution; thinking in visual categories, stressing the visual and material composition of the play and skillfully using irony, comedy, and the absurd.
