Summary/Abstract: Teresa Fazan divides her text on the 14th International Body/Mind Festival in Warsaw (26.09 – 1.10.2015) into three parts. The first, titled Body Politics, covers the plays SexyMF and Tonight, Lights Out, which are linked by their strategy of aiming to tear down the existing actor/viewer relationship. In Part Two, Unbearable Present Bodies, the author reviews Tordre byRachid Ouramdane, Collective Jumps byIsabelle Schad, and Digger Ballet by Iza Szostak and Anka Herbut. Fazan opines that all these plays have content that is seemingly not present within them. The final part, What You Don't See,is devoted to a canceled play,This Is a Musical byKarol Tymiński, and the controversies it sparked.
