Summary/Abstract: A review of The Limits directed by Bartosz Frąckowiak (Hieronim Konieczka Polski Theater in Bydgoszcz, premiere: 27.02.2016). Paweł Schreiber perceives the diversity of methods and channels of communication used in the play, and Frąckowiak's characteristic fragmentary and unstructured style. The reviewer believes that the most interesting part of the performance is the dichotomy between the words and the taut and emotional movement (skillfully rendered by the actors). He does criticize, however, the extremities of the narrative, the clash between simple leftist theories and radically utopian visions. Schreiber also has a skeptical take on the use of European perceptions of refugees.
