Summary/Abstract: Monika Świerkosz outlines the fields of the complicated relationships between art and politics to provide a context for her report on the POP-UP project (17.10-15.11.2015, Krakow), meant to break down the formulae of repertory theaters. She devotes a great deal of space to Undivine: A Confession by Oliver Frljić, which ties in to a play canceled by Jan Klata at the Stary Theater, The Undivine Comedy: Scraps. The author also reviews the remaining plays: Romville by Justyna Pobiedzińska and Elżbieta Depta, Swarka byKatarzyna Szyngiera and Mirosław Wlekły, SPI>RA>LS by Krystian Lupa, Iga Gańczarczyk, and Piotr Skiba, The Time Machine by Aśka Grochulska and Lucy Sosnowska, and Stay, Stay byMichał Borczuch. Świerkosz admires the idea of the project, entering a space different from one familiar to audiences of institutional theaters.
