Summary/Abstract: Grzegorz Niziołek asserts that Krystian Lupa’s latest play is the polar opposite of his Factory 2. Inasmuch as the previous play was a radical departure from Jungian myth, allowing him to extract dark forces lurking within, in Waiting Room.0 he returns to it. Niziołek does note, however, that this myth does not return in the form familiar from Lupa’s earlier plays, as invigorating chaos, but in the form of aggressive resentment. This is why Lupa’s play is difficult to digest, and its intentions are to some extent hidden from the audience.
