Summary/Abstract: In 1974, the STU Theater already had a reputation among critics for being committed to the side of the young generation, which distrusts the top-down programmed vision of reality and looks for its own style to express the need for independence. From Falling (1970) based on Tadeusz Różewicz's poem, through Dreambook Polish (1971), the road led to Exodus (1974) with its metaphorized ethical message. Unlike the first two parts of the triptych, composed of fragments from many authors, the text of Exodus was written entirely by Leszek Aleksander Moczulski. The play directed by Krzysztof Jasiński turned out to be one of the most important in the history of student theater. It was shown in many Polish cities (Gdynia, Warsaw, Łódź, Poznań, Wrocław), on European stages (Switzerland, France, Belgium, West Berlin) and even in South America.
