Summary/Abstract: The paper looks at Jan Dorman’s pedagogical and artistic practice through the prism of child’s sensibility of his audience. The drawings and letters of the spectators at the performance of  Awantura z ogniem (“Fire with Fire”, 1950) are considered as a collection of ego-documents. The paper examines their usefulness for expanding our knowledge about the history of Dorman’s theatre and the reception of his plays.
