Summary/Abstract: A review of the play "Dune 2016", created as a co-production between Komuna//Warszawa and the Polski Theater in Bydgoszcz (premiere: 30.12.2015). Anna Bajek notes that the artists have focused on the ecological aspects of Frank Herbert’s novel Dune (published in 1965, opening the "Dune Chronicles" series) and sought an analogy between the sand-covered planet and the Earth. As such, the production poses a question about the future of our planet. The author also stresses the fragmentary nature of the performance, which, together with the general concept – the staging of Herbert’s fictional journey to Teheran – affects the associative nature of this demanding narrative.
