Summary/Abstract: Małgorzata Dziewulska investigates promotional strategies employed by theatres and the media discourse accompanying two premieres separated from each other by time: Jerzy Jarocki’s The Dream of the Sinless from 1979 and Krzysztof Warlikowski’s (A)pollonia from 2009. Jarocki declared his production to be “about the regaining of independence”, while Warlikowski declared his to be a “national mystery play”, which led to a dichotomy between public expectations and the actual form and theme of the play, influencing the content of reviews and ultimately – quite possibly – the play itself as well.
