Summary/Abstract: The text discusses two theatre performances, h. directed by Daniel Stachuła and To my jesteśmy przyszłością (We Are the Future) directed by Jakub Skrzywanek. Both productions are primarily addressed to teenage audiences and represent engaging theatre. Their main subject is violence suffered by young people due to their psychosexual orientation and gender. The author of the article notes the efficiency (effectiveness) of the two projects, which she associates with the concept of ‘performance of possibilities’. Performative ethnography, but also experimental pedagogy, feminism and studies of homophobic violence provide the research framework for the text.
