Summary/Abstract: Different people from different fields of activity see the same thing differently. There is also a point of contact between two understandings and two notions. The crisis caused by the manipulative pandemic is perceived by theater successors as a space for gaining freedom in which they can reexamine the relations between theater and the individual, as well as theater and society on many levels. There are many stories. From the one about the origin / disappearance of the theater, if not in some ancient period, at least in the South Slavic one from nine decades ago, or for what period. And there is the story of the position of the actor and theatrical worker, as well as the ultimate story of the disappearance of man, if the pandemic and technological devastation is multiplied at lightning speed. For the space of freedom, the theater fights with the staging of everyday life that unequivocally affects everyone. Theater as an institution, actors and man himself. The space of freedom through which such states are resolved is not found, but created. Through a theatrical act that does not wait for the opportunity (s) to solve them, but creates them. The freedom worth fighting for in the face of the scourges of modern times cannot be in vain. Such an effort is justified in every way. The artistic one, but also the social one. And through the theatrical act in the plays performed on the festival stage of the XXXVII Meeting of theaters / theaters in Brcko, it turned out that such a space of freedom is realistic and possible.
