Summary/Abstract: A review of Manuscript Found in the Saragossa directed by Paweł Świątek (Jan Kochanowski Theater in Opole, premiere: 08.02.2014). The creators of the Opole staging were intrigued by the bravado with which Jan Potocki wrote of religiousness, and sought to show the relationships between Catholic Europeans and other cultures and religions. The author believes, however, that it is not otherness, spirituality, and religiousness the play foregrounds, but eroticism and the body. She believes that the creators' line of interpretation has been so thoroughly concealed by effective stage solutions that the play primarily seems to be a rollicking tale of sex and demons.
