Summary/Abstract: The article sums up theproject Greater Poland: Revolutions, initiated by curator Agata Siwiak. The author describes projects led by Wiktor Rubin, Mikołaj Mikołajczyk and Michał Borczuch, all of whom usually work in repertory theatres in bigger cities, and this time have been invited to provincial towns of the Greater Poland Voivodeship in order to cooperate with amateurs in the places where they live or work, such as an orphanage, a nursing home or a fire station. These projects, placing the artist as an alien in a small community, made it possible to conduct a cultural exchange between the two parties and go beyond the usual standards of the theatre.
