Każdy sobie
Every man to himself

Summary/Abstract: Piotr Dobrowolski writes abouth the 9th Spotkania Teatralne Bliscy Nieznajomi – Wspólnota (Teatr Polski, Poznań, 13-29 May 2016). In this year's edition Agata Siwiak, the artistic director of the festival, decided to link the theme of community to the slogan written on the facade of the theatre: “The Nation to itself”. The author writes about three sections into which the festival events were divided. The first one, “Community: Theatre”, featured the installation Post-Apocalypsis and the performances Aktorzy żydowscy (dir. Anna Smolar), Wycinka (dir. Krystian Lupa) and Drugi spektakl (dir. Anna Karasińska). The section entitled “Community: Places” featured Projekt DEKALOG, czyli Folwarczne Imaginarium (dir. Mikołaj Mikołajczyk), Swarka (reż. Katarzyna Szyngiera) and Michał Borczuch's Zostań, zostań. The last section, “Wspólnota: Kobiety” was divided into two parts exploring associations linked to femininity: “Community of the senses” and “House of women”. According to Dobrowolski, the value of this edition of the festival consists in the reflection on the nature of ephemerally forming communities.
