Summary/Abstract: The text concerns the reception of contemporary Serbian drama in Poland, namely cultural aspects of its theatrical adaptation. Dušan Kovačević and Biljana Srbljanović text stagings, usually issued Serbian authors on the Polish scenes, reveal the persistence of certain strategies for the “Other” perception. They are based primarily on the orientalism and balkanization matrices, although the creators of the performances more often than on the imaging of serbness focusing on diagnosing a Polish historical, social and cultural experience by reference to texts that were formed in the conditions of crisis. A separate part of the article was devoted to the ventures of etnological-artistic Polish alternative theatres, that in their work are inspired by Balkan (also Serbian) phenomenon of ritual drama.
