Summary/Abstract: The text refers to the legal sources of creative freedom in the Polish legal system and tries to answer the following questions: Who owns the dream in the creative process? What privileges does it provoke? What is the nature of relations based on a contract for specific work (especially between the theatre director and the art director in the theatre)? Finally, what are the ways to protect the artist’s freedom? The reflections are made in several fields—law studies, theatre studies and theatrical practice—as the author is not only a theatre director, but also a law graduate as well. The essay contains a reference to the main legal acts in the field of copyright law in Poland and abroad, quotes from Krystian Lupa, one of the greatest Polish theatre directors, and private observations from within the creative process.
