Summary/Abstract: Zbigniew Taranienko reports on the 5th Gardzienice Festival of Wandering Theaters (Gardzienice European Centre for Theatre Practices, 15-18.10.2015). The author lists three groups of plays: the graduation projects of the Theatre Practices Academy, Polish plays mainly created by Academy graduates, and four foreign performances (one Ukrainian and three Iranian). Taranienko describes each of the festival productions in formal terms (they include dance theater, monodramas, musicals) and observes how they rework the Gardzienice legacy or use it as the basis for work of new quality. Summing up, the author indicates a few clear tendencies that joined the festival plays.
