Summary/Abstract: A review of the performance The Blacks, directed by Iga Gańczarczyk on the basis of Jean Genet's play at the Polish Theatre in Bydgoszcz (prem.: 17 Jan 2015). The director put Genet's interventionist play within the conext of feminist discourse, and in this provocative way she was able to return this text – extremely difficult in terms of staging – to Polish theatre. In Gańczarczyk's interpretation feminist reflection merges with postcolonial thought, pointing at a similar scheme constructing gender and racial identity, similarly born in a „hall of social mirrors”.
