Summary/Abstract: Marcin Kościelniak ponders the surprisingly single-minded response of reviewers of Triumph of the Will, which follow the interpretive suggestions of the artists themselves. His article puts forward a different concept: “Demirski and Strzępka try to convince us that the Good Change in their theater arises from compassionate reflection upon the current political situation and the possibilities of art. But what if we were to seek its roots elsewhere, in Strzępka’s words: ‘We’ll be seen as traitors anyway. We’re finishing our friends’ performances, we won’t have our series relegated to the Internet…’?”
