Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to investigate the phenomenon of Polish theatres operating on the fronts of the Great War and discuss it as an unprecedented event in the history of both theatre and war. By means of locating it within the framework of Bakhtinian and ludic culture of laughter, the paper shows how the grotesque body moulded in the trenches of the Great War affected the modern conception of theatre and film – especially the growth and development of amateur working-class stages in Poland in the interwar period.
