Summary/Abstract: Another text for Didaskalia addressing the situation of cultural institutions – mainly the repertory theaters in Poland. Siwiak’s point of departure is the thesis that the Polish Culture Congress of 2009 “revealed the incapability of Polish cultural policy and the lack of communication between the cultural and the political/bureaucratic environments.” The author proves that Jerzy Hausner’s reform, which was the subject of harsh attacks from cultural circles, featured many innovative and advantageous postulates. She then analyzes the financial and personnel situation in Polish theaters, describes the situation of “freelancers,” and indicates changes essential for the reform – some of which are missing from Hausner’s plan.
