Summary/Abstract: The article aims to analyse changes in the functioning of the song titled Hej, Krywaniu (Hey, Kriváň) and their relation to trends in pop culture. Tracing the cross-media shifts has contributed to and complemented the multidimensional research on Kriváň, which earlier failed to take into account the performative framing of new meanings and has not included audiovisual arts in its field of interest. The paper is an attempt to build a bridge between traditional studies of Tatra literature and the modern optics of the performative turn, as well as a new understanding of intertextuality and intermediality. The analysis focuses on the poem Hej, Krywaniu from the volume of Kazimierz Tetmajer’s short stories titled Na Skalnem Podhalu, a folk song, the song Krywaniu, Krywaniu by Skaldowie band, a fragment of the film Operacja Samum and Gooral’s performance at the Woodstock Festival Poland in 2013 and his music video for the latest reinterpretation of the song.
