Summary/Abstract: Olga Katafiasz reviews Julius Caesar directed by Barbara Wysocka (Powszechny Theater in Warsaw, premiere: 23.01.2016), pointing out the significant cuts in the text. In addition, she points out the references to contemporary politics in the play, which Katafiasz sees as reflecting the populist behavior of the conspiracy theorists who plan to eliminate Julius Caesar. The critic also notes the essential function of the viewers, who are caught up in the action as witnesses. She builds associations with the style of the 1980s, prompting reflection upon the system transformation.
