Summary/Abstract: A review of the play Morrison/Śmiercisyn directed by Paweł Passini (Opole Theater of Puppets and Actors, premiere: 23.02.2013). The play begins at the moment of Jim Morrison's death. There is no attempt to give viewers Morrison's biography, though allusions are constant. Apart from the real figures and events, numerous intertextual links are made. The main motif of this performance, which "oscillates around the protagonists' conflicting desires and fantasies," is excess. And although not all the aspects of the staging are equally successful, Waligóra writes that Passini's play does not leave the viewer indifferent.
