Summary/Abstract: A report from this year's Contact Festival in Toruń (24-30.05.2014). The main subject of this edition is social and family dysfunctions. As such, the majority of the plays were political and could be classified as documentary theater. One of the festival's best performances, The Blue Boy, was based on data from the Rayan Report of 2009, which revealed many years of sexual molestation and maltreatment of the wards of Catholic correction centers in Ireland. The author is less enthusistic, on the other hand, about an ethically murky play by Oliver Frljić, addressing the the unlawful deprivation of 27,000 people's civil rights in socialist Slovenia.
