Summary/Abstract: In her account of the 3rd International Festival of the Form Theatre Materia Prima (Cracow, 21-28 Feb 2015), Joanna Braun analyses Anna Peschke's performance Elsa's Garden and the performances Pandora Frequency by the duo Anjte Töpfer & Florian Feisel, Membrane by Yaniv Shenteser & Meirav Ben David, Plan B by Aurélien Bory and Phil Soltanoff, and Here and Now by Compagnie L`Immédiat. According to the autor, each of the projects has a different way of dealing with the theme of looking for one's place in the „Materia Mundi”. She claims that all performances presented during the festival succeeded in appealing directly to the senses of the viewers, forcing them to rethink the limits of their intuition and sensitivity, and examine their fears and dreams connected with the untamed fabric of the world.
