Summary/Abstract: Katarzyna Waligóra reviews the play Faust directed by Michał Borczuch (Polski Theater in Bydgoszcz, premiere: 14.03.2015). The author describes the dramaturgical structure of the performance, in which two themes run simultaneously and overlap: (non-)seeing and the way women function in society. Waligóra opines that both the use of blind actors in the play and the cuts made to Goethe's text, which accentuates the female characters and covers up the male characters, serve to shift a socially marginalized group from the periphery to the center of sight.
