Summary/Abstract: In the text, which is a reflection on the Festival d’Avignon 2019, the author names new trends in dramaturgy, direction, and stage design. Among the most distinct themes in the focus of theatre makers were resistance to totalitarian regimes, the struggle for human freedom, or a very hot topic of a modern Odyssey of people banished from their homes. In addition to artistic issues, the text also reflects on the concerns associated with designing and funding theatre productions and on a gradual loss of acclaimed, widely recognised theatre personalities.
