Summary/Abstract: In Revolutions, Choreographies, Processes, and Doubts Katarzyna Fazan critiques this year's 39th Krakow Theatrical Reminiscences festival (4-12.10.2014), assembled according to an idea from curator Joanna Warsza and director Anna Lewanowicz. The author believes that the final version of the festival program and the overall impression of the viewers, in most cases, was quite remote from the organizers' ambitious premises. Among the spectacles and actions with rather unoriginal, overblown forms, there were, however, a handful of interesting contributions, such as: the three Very Mantero performances (a mysterious thing, said e.e. cummings, Maybe First He Should Dance, and Then Think, and Olympia), and a screening of Milo Rau's Moscow Trials, a recording of an arranged “Russian political trial.”
