Summary/Abstract: Joanna Braun describes the fourth edition of the Materia Prima Festival in Krakow (8-25.02.2017). She sees the festival as having met the expectations of a contemporary audience who wants a theater as “primal as the circus, as spontaneous as the dance, as refined as music, subversive as pantomime, as creative as dolls and masks.” Braun describes four plays in detail, focusing on their space, set design, and themes: La verità by Compagnia Finzi Pasca, Horror by Jacop Ahlbom, Pixel by Compagnie Käfig, and bODY-rEMIX/gOLDBERG-vARIATIONS by Compagnie Marie Chouinar.
