Summary/Abstract: The body and corporeality is one of the key categories in modern European drama. It is also of tremendous significance for the interpretation and translation of the drama "Odbrojavanje" by the Croatian author Asja Srnec Todorović. The drama addresses the issue of violence experienced by the body, shows its manifestations and seeks its sources. In the article we attempt to investigate the method used by the authors of the Polish translation of "Odbrojavanje" to transfer the ‘experience of the body’ expressed in Croatian into the Polish linguistic space.
